Went from couch to running a 10k

Two years ago I was basically sedentary. Worked from home, sat all day, went to the fridge during breaks instead of the gym. I'm not gonna lie, the first few weeks of running were miserable. But something clicked around week 4. Now I'm actually training for races and my doctor says my blood pressure is the best it's been in years. What I miss most is probably sleeping in, lol. But I gained so much confidence. I feel like myself again.

Two years is a long journey. Respect for sticking with it when it would have been easier to stay on the couch. That's the kind of discipline that shows your kids what commitment actually looks like.

This is motivating. I work from home too and it's easy to let yourself go without even realizing it. Did you find that getting active helped with your mental health too or was it just a physical thing?

That's awesome. Going from sedentary to running a 10k is no joke. I'm trying to get myself back in shape and the hardest part is just starting. What finally clicked for you to make the change stick?
