I was running regularly last year and prior to that around 2020. I was able to do so 5ks and 10ks without stopping. Last year, I did a 5k race (timing 34:30) which wasn’t the best but I was going somewhere.

I have been trying to run again but can’t get past 1 or 2 miles without feeling tired. Is it psychological ? What am I doing wrong?

I signed up for a half marathon next year but feel extremely demotivated.

I don’t smoke (my last cigarette ever was in 2019) and stay hydrated. I fuel same or similar way.

I wanted to share that I finally received my ILR under 5 years spouse route! I first applied from within the UK (I had leave to enter as a student) around April 23rd 2021, and received my decision on May 7th. I applied for an extension around November 2023.

I applied for my ILR around April 17th 2026 and provided my biometrics last week on the 23rd. I picked super priority and got the decision 2 hours after I submitted my biometrics.

Although it was a straightforward application (we met financial requirements, genuine subsisting relationship, passed life in the UK and have a house together), I have been so nervous !

Everyone hold strong 💕 I felt like this day would never come 5 years ago 😅

Thanks to everyone who share their experiences here !
