So the challenge begins!

Today I finally went back to the gym after months of paying for it and not using it. I was very anxious and wasn’t sure what I was going to achieve but knew I had to step through the doors!

not only did I step on the treadmill I clicked onto the C25K app which I’ve had for months but never even looked at. Week 1, run 1 completed!

im so pleased with myself and looking forward to run 2….

I really need to do this, I’m tired all the time, heavier than I have been and frustrated wirh myself….

watch this space!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
