Week 1 run 1 done!

Just back from the 1st run, took it slow and enjoyed it.

Feeling positive about the programme. The weather was absolutely atrocious. Heavy ice cold rain and high winds. I was tempted to put it off another day but I thought if I don't run in the rain I'll never complete the programme as it rains so much here.

I'm going to treat myself to have my gait analysed and buy some new trainers.

Well done!!! Well! If you manage to get yourself out in that weather, the rest of the programme will be easy peasy! Happy running!
