Food luck! Not the you need it-you absolutely know what you’re doing and you’ve been close to finishing (or finished?) before. That’ll have given you so much useful experience and you’ll know how to pace yourself to enjoy the runs.

I’ve always found the first run after a break tough mentally but once it’s done, you’re a runner who ran today, or a couple of days ago instead of weeks ago and that makes such a difference.

Cheering you on! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank youI got to week 9 run2 and had a short illness and didn't restart running 😔

All well now, though 👍🏻

So close! Really glad you’re recovered now-that’s always the priority.

Hopefully you’ll be surprised how quickly it comes back. That graduate badge will feel extra sweet having nearly been there before.

Not what you're looking for?
