week 1 - I’ve smashed it!

Well, a couple of weeks ago I was desperate to start running again but had no idea whether it would actually be possible on my new medication. Today I finished week 1! Admittedly I’m planning on doing each week twice to give my poor fragile body more time to adjust to the shock, but whoop whoop, I made it through three runs in a week! And with having managed two the previous week, this is going surprisingly well 😁

Running is also turning out to be a great way to explore the area, since we just moved here last month. The roads on the estate are an absolute maze, but I’m learning how they fit together too - it’s not just making my legs work, but my brain too 😂

That’s great to hear, and running around a new area is always so interesting

So important to go at your own pace as you’d probably give up if you overdid it. Well done! I’m sure you feel much better x
