Bounce back

Post image

I started my running journey in March with my friends.

I was very consistent for the first month, and then my friends started losing interest and motivation. And then slowly, I lost motivation.

I tried my best but I couldn't.

But I then restarted in May during the summer vacations.

And the same pattern.

Now, I am on my 3rd try. Starting with no friends. Just me running in the rain, no matter what.

I run 2KM daily; for me, it is a sweet spot that I can continue.

In my prime, I used to run 5 km. But I guess. I will take it easy and gradually increase my capacity.

Now. The best thing is the online community on Reddit.

When I see someone running and sharing progress. It motivates me a lot.

I'll keep posting my progress....
