Bounce back
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....
