What made you decide to start running/exercise?

For me, a combination of another birthday looming combined with weight gain.

Used to be very slim with no effort (I know) but when I reached age 40+, combined with WFH has made me go from a size 10 to 14.

Am at the start, very new to running but not hating it. Also hoping I don't kill my knees, all feedback greatly accepted 😄

Peri-menopause (Typo!)

Hello 👋

So many reasons really-
Mid forties, reaching the age my DM was when she developed (and died of) cancer

Peri-menapause symptoms (namely anxiety and weight gain)

I only began six months ago but I already feel so much better, physically and mentally.
I'd even go so far as to say it's addictive!!
