Emily and Leta. I finished week 5 day 2. Yay

Incorrect support from your footwear would be the first place I'd start. I have semi flat feet and require shoes with a neutral instep. If I wear full support shoes I have hip issues.

Fixed this problem, i was being savvy with my phone and turning off notifications, background apps ect to save battery on iPhone.... Must hav accidentally turned off notifications! Whoops x

Well, Hello there , welcome here. Great writing. I love it. Congrats for wanting to Own your Own life. You can do it. I so love your attitude. Good luck and keep us posted.

All it takes is putting one foot in front of the other...keep taking those steps and you'll do it! As has been stated, dress in layers for the cold and good luck with your goals!

Others have done it on a treadmill, but in my DH's experience, he found running outside VERY different (much more difficult) from running on the mill. His first 5k was really tough when he had thought it was going to be easy. Regardless, if you're just getting started I'd not worry about how you get started. We're approaching winter months for many, and trying to run outside is at times dangerous what with ice/snow/etc. Good luck with your program! -LBW

Ice, aspirin and rest for a few days. Make sure you have a good pare of shoes and pace yourself.
