You’re certainly doing the right thing starting this wonderful journey. It will very gradually help strengthen your heart and lungs and take you to a much healthier place in all sorts of ways. Good luck with your running.

Well done you !
I'm sure it will certainly help you post covid !
I'd be careful running around all those trees though 😂
My third run too today. A bit easier than the first two. Beautiful day and quiet roads make it good to be outside. Almost looking forward to week 2!
