I completed my first run today- difficult, but I feel very empowered that I managed it! I have always wanted to start running and Get Running as well as everyone's success stories has finally given me the confidence. I have recently lost two stone and need to shed the last stone and a half so I'm hoping running will speed this up!
Welcome to the Forum! I think reading and responding to the posts here has helped me as much as the running itself! I've gotten more confident as I've gone through the program. I'm on week 9 and I cannot belive I've gotten this far! I've kept running even though it was hot, I was tired, I was on vacation, I skipped runs, and I still got here - 2 runs from the end!
Just keep running and keep talking here. We all know where you're coming from and the hurtles you are facing!
“Suddenly, I was part of something. I was part of the running community. The more open I was about my running, the more open others were about theirs. I found out that runners love to talk about running.”
