I've started early, with my first run this morning. It went well and was buzzing for the rest of the morning. Now psyching myself up for setting my alarm a half hour early for tomorrow for a run before work.

I'm incredibly unfit too. I decided if I struggle that I'm going to repeat weeks rather than give up.
I have to wait until the children go back before I start which is probably better than trying to on New Year's Day.
Just trying to find some suitable gear now

Yes. But Im so very very unfit Im starting slow by introducing walks first. With a 1 year old I'm really unsure how I will find time for tge running but walking I can do with pushchair giving me a couple of weeks to work out the practicalities. I'm starting tomorrow after work

I plan to. I am very unfit and rather overweight

Me me me me Grin

Please can I join you. I have really struggled to get back into running since having DS. After attempting C25K this year whilst pushing DS in his buggy I knackered my wrists. but now I've changed my work pattern I should be able to fit in a run before collecting him from nursery.

I'm a bit quitter though, so hopefully you guys can keep me on track (bad pun unintended)

I plan to. Got to the end of week 2 in October when I had to stop due to illness (it really doesn't take much to break my will to run unfortunately as I hate it).Now I just need to get rid of this stupid sore throat and cough before the 1st.

I plan to, but v nervous. Will be going out when it's dark at first Grin

I'd love to but I'm chicken. Can I hang around and see if I get up the gumption?

I did this last year and managed it in 18 weeks! Was sooooo chuffed and then stopped once I completed a half marathon in October. I do want to do it again, so would be nice to talk to others.
