I went out for a run. Yes, me. Honestly.
I really do need to get a bit, well a lot, fitter, and I’ve been reading up on the Couch to 5K programme. “Surely even I can do that”, I thought.
I dug out my old trainers, some jogging trousersand the sports underwear. I downloaded an app for my iPhone. I thought about it some more. “How hard can it be?” I thought.
This morning I woke at 6.30 – it was a beautiful crisp morning, sun coming up, light frost on the ground. And so off I went.
I managed 7.5 out of the 8 x 1 minute runs (ran out of steam half way through #4), but I DID IT. Pete, of course, slept through the whole thing, even my triumphant, if rather breathless, whoops when I got home.
I need some proper running shoes, which I will sort out a.s.a.p., but I think I might actually stick to this.
Well done 🙂 I saw your tweet, and came to read your post! You’ve just done the hardest part, from here on, just take it easy and keep putting one foot in front of the other!
