I rise again

morning all, I completed C25K last year and I can’t tell you how I felt. I’d actually done it, after all those challenges , doubts and voices that told me I couldn’t do it.

In November, I had a bad CPTSD episode, usually happens around this time, and it still hits me hard. My confidence went, I was depressed, paranoid and basically just a shell for a while. My C25K ended as quickly as it started. But today is a new day, it is day one of my new journey. I started again with Jo Wiley encouraging me every step of the way. I completed my first run in the rain and feeling great.

”I rise again” is such a wonderful way of putting it. There are lots of people here coming back from setbacks of all sorts and you’re in really good company. Vixxy382 is spot on-you’ve done it before which can be a real source of confidence and encouragement as you come back this time. Wishing you all the luck on this journey. ❤️

It's like riding a bike. Once learned never forgotten. You just have to gradually build up the fitness again. Well done!
