Just completed 'Couch To 5K' Week 1 Run 2. In driving rain and winds.

To be honest, I'd much rather be in that than running in sunny conditions over 25℃.

After three months of not running and niggling injuries, plus a mad first half of the year for me, I've decided to return to the NHS's 'Couch To 5K'.

Did it back in 2022 and feel it's the best measured and slow way to get me back up to 'standard' 30-minute runs.

With the added bonus of Denise Lewis' dulcet tones, of course.

🥁 New thing, bongos! Puppy is scared of them (she dislikes the guitars and my singing too, evidently a musical heathen)
🥁 Week 3 of #C25K completed, though think I’m going to repeat the week because despite Jo Whiley’s assertion, I haven’t *quite* ‘got this’. All moving is moving forward
🥁Some good plans with gig mates coming together (I get quite excited by an efficient car share)

Second week of Couch to 5K completed! Like many a venture there’s mixed feelings, blessedly the positive resonate with more impact.

I’m now moving my body in a way that respects, honours and challenges it, though it is with some small grief that I naturally mourn my past (better) health and reflect on the changes between ‘then’ me and ‘now’ me. Guilt, regret and anger be gone - we work with and cherish all that we have IN THIS MOMENT ❣️

I went to the gym this morning.
Two people got on the treadmills either side of me. Started chatting on their phones. It's not illegal.
Neither is singing while you run.

They got off their phones.

A return to the Albert #parkrun today, since it was both a Santa run and @teahands's graduation run from #c25k!

Not only did we see unicycling reindeers, but @teahands nailed the 30 minutes and even ran the full 5k for the first time! Amazing!
