Six months and will keep it going

Never thought I’d write this, have now completed six months of running/shuffling. Really slow although gradually getting quicker but most importantly really enjoying it. Even went running in the rain last week, never thought that would ever happen.

Happy 6 months running to you EngFan, I bet 1 year ago you if someone had asked you if you had ever ran or were thinking of running for 30 minutes non stop you would have said 'no way' but there you are now celebrating 6 months of just doing that, well done 😀 🏃🏾

Thanks buddy, appreciated. The key as you know is the very first step of the first week and the rest just happens gradually with some good runs and some more challenging runs along the way. Accepting it as a gradual journey really helped Never thought I would run for 10/15 minutes but can now do 10k. Wherever anyone bud on their journey just keep it going and don’t let the setbacks or more challenging days put you off

Yes, that’s me, running/ shuffling still, more of one than the other depending on day or mood but I love it. I’m totally in awe of your 10k though. What an inspiration.

Thank you, I guess it’s the making yourself go out when you don’t really fancy it. Although those are the days that I get the biggest post run pleasure/buzz from. Enjoy your running and shuffling and keep up the great work
