Hey I know this is an old thread but thanks for your encouragement! I ended up running one a month ago and it was super slow (unsupported and alone on mixed trails/roads - I got a bit lost once or twice), but a really rewarding experience. Where I live is not great for running this time of year but I hope to keep it up as much as possible and get a head start for the spring.

Hope you've kept up at it and are continuing to build on your first year!

I'm currently camping and I've literally just run to the nearest town for a beer.

Running is great. It's a form of mediation. Remember not to overdo it at first, to avoid injury.

Cheers mate, here's to you and your new journey.
