I can't believe I managed to do it! I am very unfit and about 3 stone overweight. But I did it Grin

Just wanted to share with someone as I'm very proud of myself at the moment Blush

I keep having urges to go running but am scared that I'll be completely rubbish at it. I haven't done exercised f

Backinaminute - well done for starting as well. We can do this together!

It went better than I was expecting it to. How was your 2nd run? I also don't want people seeing me so went out at dusk and live fairly close to an industrial estate so ran round there! I used to run a lot as a teenager/young adult but I don't think I've done any exercise for about 8 years! Starting is definitely the hardest but I suddenly decided I was going to do it today and just went for it. So glad I did Grin

Pancake - I surprised myself by finding a nice comfortable pace straight away. I really was expecting it to be so much harder than it actually was Smile. I'm aching already though!

A very big well done! Grin

Be warned, running is very addictive!

The first run is definitely the hardest, but my God it feels good once you've done it doesn't it!

Yeahhhhhhhh
Did you find yourself a comfy pace?

I am just out of the shower from a 30min run and it was lovely.... Comfy from the first step. Keep going, it's so worth it. You will feel so much fitter.

Can I join you? Also 3 stone over weight. I did my first one on Friday and my second one today.

How did it go? I am so unfit but managed it (just). I was a bit concerned that someone might stroll past while I was 'running'. Have you run before?

Well done, I think starting is the hardest bit (and the actually running too).
