#couchto5k #c25k #running

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 finished #Couchto5k with a #parkrun at Albert in Middlesbrough today!

Before starting this, I'd charitably describe my fitness as "could be worse". I was a mostly sedentary fifty year old who scraped a pass thanks to some weekend distance walking. But I'd never been able to run before. Every time I'd tried, I hated it.

I read the testimonies for #C25k and was sceptical, but decided to give it a go. And it's been brilliant!

From 60 seconds to 30 minutes, and it somehow never felt too much!

Day 1 of week 1 of couch to 5k. The last time I did this was when my blue merle #roughcollie pair got too old for a fast pace walkies

November #MonthlyRecap

I finished the #CouchTo5K program I was following and I'm still running for 30 minutes a few days a week.

I started playing #AlanWake2 and #DiceyDungeons.

I watched #ScottPilgrimTakesOff and started #Invincible Season 2.

I read the manga adaptation of #AllYouNeedIsKill and started #Kagurabachi.

For #GameDev, I began prototyping the main game mode after scrapping the original plan for it. Still a work in progress, but here's a peek:

First unassisted/solo-run after the #couchto5k program. I’ll admit I was less than motivated without the “goal” to work towards. So I just made another goal and took off. Sure the pace was slow, but it was my farthest run yet. I think I finally got that #runnershigh and the hangover in my legs this morning is worth it.

Another run/walk together around MaximaPark before lunch. Once again it was bitter cold with only intermittent sun. I can’t believe I leave for the hot Argentine summer in two days. So glad to spend a bit of time together while we can as the hours are slipping by. #Day19 #365happydays2023 #couchto5k #day2week2 #running #jogging #walking #selfie #couplesgoals #ibelieveintheblerch #photography

Ten years on and we can still do it! No longer running on the summer beaches of Uruguay or the pavement of Buenos Aires, but it is great to run together again. Okay, so it was more like jogging but still! It was bitter cold but sunny so we got in our Vit D and exercise at the same time. /1 #Day17 #365happydays2023 #couchto5k #day1week2 #running #jogging #walking #selfie #couplesgoals #ibelieveintheblerch #photography #postphotos
