Back at it again: week 1 run 1

[AlexandriaH98]

I have finally decided to give running a go again. I completed the C25K quite a while ago but stopped running just over a year due to stressful training and then work commitments which gave me no free time. Now I’ve changed up my career I think it’s time to give it a shot again.

Week 1 run 1 was a little tougher than anticipated but I’m also not the healthiest at the moment. Despite that I feel proud of taking the step and this time I’ll have my partner running alongside me.
