I think I'm going to start my own thread here so that I can chart my progress and ramble on to my heart's content! I will of course still come here every day though to chart my progress and add to the conversation where I can. This thread has changed my life, no doubt about it and I am so grateful for the lovely posters here and for Shaggy for tirelessly keeping the scores. :T As you say, we never know how many people are reading but not joining in. I know that I did for a long time too, before I plucked up courage to join in. All I can say is, don't be frightened take the plunge because the support and warmth here can really make a difference to your life!

Well done Pricey on doing parkrun. I'll never be one of the fastest either but I think that's what's great about it. It's just such a great thing to do on a Saturday morning!

18/19 please Shaggy!

Lovely post, thank you and couldn't resist quoting it in full again, something I rarely do but everything you say is pertinent, I think.

Linky please when you start your own thread so I can read along.

I tried joining the Women's Running Network when I first came across it and discovered that my feet really dislike running. They hurt in areas they're not supposed to, apparently, so I don't run. I'd rather like to be able to, so I'm a bit jealous, and there is a Parkrun in Plymbridge Woods that would be lovely, but never mind. Good on you those that actually do it, I'm cheering you along from the sidelines.

23/28 please, Shaggy.

I started running by doing Couch to 5K. It was great, as it gradually built up my confidence and I didn't try to run before I could walk (excuse the pun!). I know of others who have thought they can't run and been pleasantly surprised once they started that program.


Saying that, running isn't for everyone and I know some people don't like it. I think it's a case of finding an exercise that you enjoy (or maybe can endure!) and sticking with it.

I keep meaning to do couch to 5k but the couch always wins over actually getting off my backside! Once the evenings are a bit lighter, I think I will do it with the kids.

Calling in early so 1 more please Shaggy.

Finally in double figures!
