    I’ve got my second run to do today so only a couple of days ahead. It’s started raining, I have no wet weather gear!

    It brightened up, I didn't die, I couldn't breathe at points but not quitting!

    How did you go @Tashired ?

    You might need to slow down.

    There’s people out there, they see me, I’m humiliated by my size and humiliated by tortoise speed!

    I've just started too. :smile: Have done 2 days now.

    Walking would possibly be faster, but it's a start...doing the "Pooch to 5k" with my dog, so that's pretty entertaining too - she seems to have so much fun that I have to smile. Working on her running nicely beside me though.
