Day 1 done 1 day late

So I've just got in from week 1 run 1 after initially saying I would start yesterday.

I made sure I had all the gear, music and buds at the ready so I had no excuse, I even went to the shops in my running clothes to decrease the chances of pulling out.

My thoughts...

"I really don't know why I'm doing this, I know I dislike running"

"Come on you can do it"

"Brisk walk... just got through that bit then a run"

"Oh ok my stamina is better than I thought it would be, not amazing but still slightly there"

"My ears feel weird with earphones in"

"Oh... I'm done."

And stretch. Now about to head for a shower and cook Mediterranean cod for dinner. I'm adamant I will be slimmer and fitter by the time I go on holiday in June!

Congratulations on making that start 👍

My thoughts when I started were a similar "What am I doing? I hate running!! I've always hated running!!!"😱

But by week 4 I was kind of liking it and come week 7 I was well and truly hooked 😀

Great work Kerry Lou, you have taken a great stride to a healthier life, do not expect to lose weight through running, but you will because you are thinking healthy and that will work. Good luck
