Unfit Chick

WEEK 1, DAY 1:

You probably guessed it; I didn't get up this morning.

I really should have, it was gloriously sunny before thunder & lightning struck at midday. Went for quick run around the block this evening in the rain. I decided this wasn't a bad thing, cos then if I run like a girl (which I do) I can pretend I'm just in a rush to get inside.

When I set off, leaving dad at the door asking if I should do a warm up first, I felt young and fit; a 10min jog should be no probs...

2.5mins in and I am reduced to a walk. Seeing as this fits in with the free avdised training routine on www.raceforlife.org * I walked for a further 3mins & jogged home.

Made me realise that it's a good job my training starts 13 weeks in advance, I am SO unfit. No CV work for at least 2 years since I stopped going to Taekwondo class.

(*)Week 1: Mon+Wed+Fri - 3min jog, 3min walk, 3min jog.
