second time round Run 1 week 1 !!!!

[Pymander10]

Following up from my last post!

Guess what?!

I did it! I got out there for my first run back from physical and mental illness after 3 months!!

Thank you so much for all the support on this forum and everyone sharing their stories. It encouraged me no end to get back out for my first run and it was AMAZING! I loved every minute and felt so good during and after. It was a beautiful sunny day and it felt so natural to start running again. I had a few aches and pains but that was during the walking part but it actually felt more comfortable running so I’m not sure if that is a good sign

So, back out there tomorrow! I think I’ll do the same routine as it’s a bank holiday. Get up early, coffee and wake up, do my stretches, set my kit out, give my Guinea pigs a treat then kit on warm up and out the door!

Thanks again for all your support

Oh I won’t! I want to go further but my body is saying no so I’m listening to that! Getting some good stretches in at the same time which is good for me and I enjoy those too!

Congrats on starting again! I also have more aches walking than running, and by the end of the session they are better, not worse

Brilliant- well done! I repeated C25K and found encouragement here and also knowing I’d done it before. Enjoy 😊

Thank you! It took a while but feels right now in body and mind. I think I pushed myself to far today having a full on shower and washing my hair after as that’s a big deal for me too so I wi t do both together again. Well done you for doing it again!
