Here goes…. First blog on my site about getting fit, learning to run and just feeling better about myself.
I meant to start running last night. I had all the gear looked out and eager to go when a massive snowfall happened. This is pretty rare in Scotland these days so I didn’t have an alternative action plan. So I ended up working and watching a bit of TV - bloody typical.
So I planned to run tonight but it was still too icy and I didn’t fancy breaking my leg. Instead I watched the Bourne Ultimatum (pretty fucking cool) and then came out for a power walk with the dog. I figure a good 30 minute walk at a fast pace is a good starter for 10. I’m now standing at the top of Stirling Golf Course looking at the most amazing castle in the world and feeling v. Inspired.
Running starts tomorrow morning…
I plan on taking up running myself having just given up my 20 a day cigarette habit on New Years Day. I’m hoping to be able to tackle a half marathon by the summer.
Good luck with the running, I’ll be interested to see how you progress!
Thanks Sally - congrats on being my first comment!
Best of luck with your goals. I’m going to be blogging everyday so keep looking in and hopefully we can help each other.
Cheers
