So yesterday was the day... long day at work and 3 coffees later as still not being used to my β€˜new normal’ working hours, zero motivation and a grey sky... it need it to be done, and my partner has been with me from day one, so he dragged me out to do it! What happen next?!?!?? I did it!! πŸ’ͺIts done!!! πŸ‘πŸ»I am officially a runner!!! πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈMy biggest fear while I was at school and we had to run at PE its not longer my fear!! I can do it and I did it!!!

It is amazing what WE can do when we set our mind in something and we push ourselves! My times are not great but my 30 min are there, my effort and dedication has been 100% from day one. So no stitches, no doubts, I am only 9 weeks into something I never really set my mind and I though was far too hard and complicate, but no!! If I can do it, WE can do it! It has been 12 weeks since I quite to smoke and 9 since I have decided to wear a pair of trainers and have a go! And here I am, a proud little slow spanish runner!

Thanks to everyone for making this so real!

Tomorrow I will do my consolidation N.1 of the new me, less pressure but and I will push myself again, sky is the limit guys! πŸ˜‰

Pushing is fine, but please don't do too much too soon.

Keep running, keep smiling.
