newbie update

[Lemonlulu]

Hi all, just thought I would keep you all updated...ie been little quiet lately.

haven't run in a little while and i'm rather ashamed with myself.

But more so because that fitness test I told you guys about last time...failed it again. This was my last try.

I started this programme with so much hope and I didn't keep my promise to myself to keep up with this and I guess it had a knock on effect.

But after all this negativity im resolute to find the positive and keep moving forward and with that in mind, I will be dragging my arse back out on the roads tomorrow, hell maybe even tonight. I will do this... I will do this programme and I will stick to it.

and my god I will not stop this time.

thanks for all the support, will update when my feet are back pounding the pavements.

Don't feel like you failed, think out how hard you worked!

You’ve got this -can you hear us all cheering you on from the sidelines? 🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏼💪🏻

Keep going! I read somewhere (probably on this forum) that a bad run is better than no run, and that has kept me going. So if you go out tonight and run for 30 seconds - you have run! Good luck

Nothing to feel ashamed about, running is hard and requires a lot of determination. If your struggle is motivation, try asking yourself why you want to do it. 😊

Don’t beat yourself up, you absolutely can do this. You’re amazing if you can cycle 30 minutes already. I am late 50s and hadn’t run since school so I know what a struggle it feels like at first.

I can’t emphasise enough how SLOW you need to go. I am weeks in and still shuffle happily along at my own pace. 🐌🐢

Don’t lose faith in Yourself. Everyone on here will be cheering you along 🏃‍♀️😀
