One year anniversary

Cant believe that one year ago today, I strapped on my trainers and did run 1, week 1. I remember after that first minute running how I thought I was going to die and never get through the 9 weeks....but I did. Running has changed my life in so many ways, all that initial pain was definitely worth it. I'm never going to be quick, but I don't care, I run for me 😊 I get my motivation in other ways. Last month I did the strava 100km in a month challenge, I also did a 10k route that I used to cycle as a kid and never in a million years thought I could run...but I did.

Im now happier, healthier and fitter than i was a year ago so just believe in yourselves and stick at it...Good things will definitely come your way.

HAPPY Runniversary!

How many folk felt and will feel, exactly as you did on that first run! But, like you, will still be here for, hopefully, many running years to come ?

Have you a special run planned... or even a special treat..? Maybe pop into Catch Up Corner too and share your running story? :)

HUGE well done! x

Hi, thank you. No special plans, just a 5k on my favourite route down a bridleway 😊
