Day 1

[Springcat]

First day today! Feel quite proud of myself as I always thought that running wasn’t for me. Looking forward to getting fit this way now!

Well done, it's a great thing.

Keep moving! 😀

Thank you, I will 💪

My first day too. I always thought I wouldn’t be able to run and enjoy it. It’s down to isolation that I’m starting at the age of nearly 72. Good luck . I hope we both keep motivated and feel better during these difficult days. 👍

[Springcat in reply to Chris274]

Wow 72, that’s very impressive! You’ll be a huge inspiration to others your age. Let me know if you need a nudge at any point, I’ll be here. Go us!

[Hidden]

Good start don't look back, just go at your pace and you'll be fine, remember though the resting is as important as the running!

[Springcat in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, that’s good advice

Well done! I thought I was going to die after the first run. I never, ever thought running was for me but thanks to C25K, I enjoy running (sometimes). Keep going and let us know how you get on 👍

[Springcat in reply to agirlinwinter]

Thank you. I actually felt ok after, a bit jelly like and a bit sore today though. I think it’s part excitement for having a legitimate reason to leave the house!
