Finally got started!

After much deliberation, I did Week 1 Run 1 last night with my husband (who started with Couch to 5k and has now run three marathons). I insisted that we wait until it was dark, as we live in a small town and everybody knows everybody, and I didn't want to be seen! However, I did it and it wasn't too bad, so I'll do my next one in the daylight!

Great job getting started, and you have a good coach there!

Really love that you’re ready to be seen next time out... you may well inspire others by doing so. Getting out there isn’t quite so daunting with the current restrictions either, and by the time they’re lifted you’ll be used to this.

Enjoy your journey, as you’d husband knows only too well, you can do this and take it as far as you want to.
