Hello world

Good morning C25K world. I have just completed run 1. My first exercise of any kind for years. I have reached the point where I have to do this for me.

Looking forwards to reading your inspirational stories.

Stay Positive People 😎👍

Welcome to the forum and well done on getting started.

Thanks. I have tried things before (and used to jog regularly) but it was always for 'someone else'. This time it's for me. 🙂

My story? I started running after my 6th grandchild was born. Had never run. Not even at school! Graduated and swore that was my limit. Please note my badge 😊 You can do this.

Inspirational thanks 👍😎

Hi Slob37, you may need to change your name in a couple of months 😁 this running thing is strangely addictive. A little tip, if you’re struggling say out loud ‘I can do this’ or ‘I’m really enjoying this’. It always puts a spring in my step and gives me a little more oomph. Mind you, I’m lucky, the place where I run is deserted 😂

Thanks... all sounds advice 🙂👍
