W2R3

So, I’ve just completed Week 2, Run 3 and really looking forward to the start of Week3 on Sunday! Who would have thought it! This program is sooo good for my wellbeing. So far it’s within my capability, even though I have never run before. The hardest run was the very first one. I’ve found that listening to upbeat music really helps. I’ve noticed that a few times when the program tells me to slow down to a brisk walk, I am quite surprised, having been miles away with my thoughts and the music. Fortunately I am running in a safe place.

You’re going to love this journey! I am W7R7 and the joy of being able to run is fabulous! Ups and downs but always moving forward, and continually amazed what my body can achieve! We got this! 💪 🏃🏻‍♀️ 👍🏽

Ooh yes, I’ll start posting after every run. I’m doing W3 R3 tomorrow, can’t believe I start W4 on Sunday. I’ve followed you, too.

I like to run really early - fingers crossed 🤞 I’ll miss the rain! (But I have a bad feeling ......... 🌧 ). Good luck with your run!

Thank you, I’m an evening runner when possible, I’m not a morning person. I have tight leg muscles today so hope they loosen up through the day so I can run later 🤞🏻
