Week 1 run 1 done!

[Popstess]

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.

Congratulations on completing that oh so important first run. Without this one, none of the rest will happen

Here's to your ongoing success!

Indeed! Thank you

[Jancanrunagain Graduate]

woohoo - new trainers too. I’m waiting until W9 in case my enthusiasm flounders

Please share a picture of them … I love a new shiny bright trainer!

Congrats especially with that monster weather…

Blooming good job

I will post a pic I'm excited to get new ones my old pair are hurting my feet so no good and I don't want to get injured because of them

[Jancanrunagain Graduate in reply to Popstess]

Definitely not worth risking your feet - the foundation to your runs must be solid or you pay the price 👍

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

[Popstess Graduate in reply to CBDB]

Thank you! That's true it was like an endurance test 🤣

[Popstess Graduate]

thanks everyone really pleased I went, although I must admit I was exhausted yesterday and achy! But I feel ok today I think my body got a shock!

[drl212 Graduate]

That's the way to do it! As I went through the programme, I rewarded myself with a new pair of running socks now and again.

Congrats on your first steps...keep us posted.
