@WTL It was the early days of the pandemic, and my neighbour invited me to run with her on a trail nearby

I really struggled to run even 100m, despite being a long distance cyclist.

She kept encouraging me along the way and never let me give up. Kept telling me I was doing great whenever I tried to put myself down. When we got back home, I tried to say “this is not for me” and she said “you did such a great job, when are we going to do this again?”

It made me feel like I could do it, and I started a C25K plan.

She’s not my neighbour anymore, and now I run casual 5ks every other day 🥰
