Week 3 Run 2 - Done!

I really didn't want to leave my house but I did. I'm glad I did. I ended up running first in a slightly muddy area which definitely helped slow me down. Highly recommmend to run in a slightly muddy area for pace. Joking - I actually had to make sure I didn't slip. But sooner after I got out of that and started to enjoy my run. I ended it at 3 mins and I didn't want to try push my self further. That was enough for me. Also does anyone else get dogs running up to you when you're running? I just noticed it and it's like I gotta run sorry dog!

Also I feel as though my body is slowly becoming stronger after each run not sure of the feeling but I feel good after each run

Sounds as though it's going well! You do get stronger slowly and that's really encouraging. For me it's not a straight line. I'll have a week out two of not making any progress in an obvious way and then I'll go out and realise I've made progress!

glad you had fun - enjoying any kind of exercise is probably key to keeping you going. I love dogs but they are the bane of my life when I’m running. I spend a lot of time making sure I don’t fall over a dog or a long lead but the park and cliff are for everyone so it’s just a thing to look out for. Enjoy the journey
