I started a Couch to 5K programme on Wednesday but the chance to run a 5K with the gym group I train with I thought why the hell not! Good to have a measure of where I am at the start of my running journey so I can see how I progress. Then a 4 mile walk home #NHS100miles

Not quite as many miles this week for #NHS1000miles but it was likely to drop when my annual leave ended, still I’m pretty happy with how many I’ve managed.
Total to date: 44.6miles
(adjusted to take out the last 2 days of December that I stupidly counted in my first post 🤦♂️)

So this year I thought I’d join in the #NHS1000miles challenge, first week has been really lovely due to me being on annual leave, a nice walk each day has meant a decent start of 27.87miles.
I’m using Strava to log my distance, if any fellow NHS 1000 milers want to follow
