W1R1 - the rerun

[Skipboy]

Firstly I'd like to say a massive thank you for all the lovely comments and support from my first post. I've woken up today from my first run on Sunday and surprise surprise my legs are stiff and aching. Not a surprise given it's been over 20 years since I did any sort of meaningful exercise. This does not deter me, it means that my body is slowing coming round to the idea that I'm not going to treat it as a skip anymore! My plan is to rerun R1 either tomorrow or Wednesday dependant on where my body is. To quote Kang from the Simpsons, 'We must go forward, not backward. Upward, not downward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom'...

It’s a great job to start it and the posting also keeps you at the runs. It’s the best kind of social media here I find - to quote Kang it keeps us twirling …

I love the idea that aches are the way your body is telling you it’s not prepared to be a skip.. I think running could be your detox.
