It’s been a while

[Ssasqueen]

I completed C25K way back in June 2019... I carried on and a 10K back in November 2019... i enjoyed park-run and I even carried on running through the first lockdown - but then I got injured and slowed down, then I just pretty much stopped running in January 2021...

So 8 months later I’m a stone heavier and finding myself out of breath walking up hills.

So I’m getting back to it - run one week one tonight after work ... and park run/walk on Saturday

Posted on here in an attempt to make myself accountable and start again. I miss running. I miss being fitter. I bet it will be raining as I finish work...

I’ll keep you posted

Welcome back, at least it’ll be warm rain, not like january rain

[Ssasqueen in reply to SueAppleRun]

It was - the rain was nice

[Leledange Graduate]

You got this girl 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Yes! good plan and welcome back. A few of us have done it and it has been easier second time as you know you can do it. We've got your back, keep posting

[Ssasqueen in reply to Couchpotato2]

Yep - definitely easier - glad to be back - possibly wouldn’t have done it if I hadn’t posted

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to Ssasqueen]

I was like that first time, had to post every day. Hu kept me running and I’m so grateful for it

[BaddieThePirate Graduate]

Didn’t realise you’d stopped! Great that you’re back. Shame you’re going to cause it to rain, but it’s been really hot for running, so maybe some refreshing rain will be better? I found it easier 2nd time round. Have fun 👍🏃🏼‍♀️

[Ssasqueen in reply to BaddieThePirate]

Did it! It was definitely much easier than 1st time and felt good to be out - the light rain was lovely

[BaddieThePirate Graduate in reply to Ssasqueen]

Well done.

[Soozy16 Graduate]

Well done for moving onto the 10K that’s something I couldn’t do. Sorry to hear about your injury. Welcome back and good luck with restarting. I’m on week 8. 3 years after graduating. 💜🎉

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Welcome back! You will soon be back to where you were. See you at parkrun soon.

Enjoy your journey again

[RunaroundSue]

Go for it. We are all cheering for you. Looking forward to seeing you at a parkrun before too long

[Week7 Graduate]

It'll rain, you will run and you will be so pleased with yourself when you finish! -As you know the worst bit is getting out of the door!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Welcome back Ssasqueen! You know you’ve taken that hard first step and you know what you’re in for! Go you!

[Ssasqueen]

I did it. Definitely feels good to be out and moving

[Ssasqueen]

I wouldn’t have gone if I hadn’t posted on here first! So thanks all

[Mum22boys Graduate in reply to Ssasqueen]

I was exactly like this a few weeks ago. Well done you for getting out and taking the first step

[RunBrianRun Graduate]

Good luck on your return to running 👍 Accountability is a great motivator 😀

[nowster Graduate in reply to RunBrianRun]

It's one of the reasons why I write up almost every run I do. The only exception was the weekend before last when I had to summarise two runs due to being away from home and busy.

Good luck and welcome back 🙏
