I have just completed week 3 run 1. I was past on the way by a real runner but he gave me a thumbs up so I felt like a real runner too. I had given myself an extra day in between runs as my knee was grumbling but its ok now.

it's onwards and upwards.

Those little acknowledgments from other runners are just golden. It just says, “You are a superhero too!” Really well done!

You are a real runner! Keep going, my knees ache if I’m not running weirdly fine when moving 🧐

My ache when I'm not moving. They have been better again recently. They are just getting used to the movement, I think.

Congratulations Gif.

Well done Basil73 - great achievement. I also find that other runners couldn't be kinder or more encouraging....it's like a secret society! I was going to tell you off for thinking you're not a real runner...but I've just this week completed the programme and I still don't feel like a real runner myself, even though the divine Denise arrives me I am. The truth is - we're running...and that's massively more than so many other people. Congratulations and we look forward to many more posts from you.
