Started - 5 weeks to 5k

[Pjstarfish67]

Crikey!. Left it too late but I’m going for it!. 5 weeks until my 5k run for St Margaret’s Hospice, Taunton. I’m so unfit and just did my first run using the app. It was really motivational. Surprisingly the heart and lungs felt ok but the left knee started hurting and moved up way behind top of hip. Weird weird pain when walking butnok sitting down. Just got tompish through these niggles. Rest day tomorrow then repeat
