New to the community but on Week 2

[Jenna46]

Hey guys. I'm new here. I didn't even know there was a community page. I started week 2 today and did my first run of the week. I almost didn't go as had a 2 day break, but I went and did it, in the rain too. It was a good run and I was strung on the last run stint, but I did it, and pushed me further. Look forward to the next one.

Congrats!!! You seem like you have all the right gear to run in welcome to the forum

Thanks. I did start the gym a 5 years ago and stopped. I had some gear I brought a few years ago too and never used, so thought I should put it to good use. Plan on being as active as I was 8 years ago. Gym will come back into it once covid is under control again.
