Training day 1
Well, after a week of putting it off (I’ve had a viral infection, honest, and all the advice says don’t exercise if you don’t feel well……) tonight I went for a walk.
Just a walk - can’t even consider running until my sports bra turns up (which it looks like it was delivered today and taken back to the post office, I’ll pick it up tomorrow). I didn’t want to - it’s so much easier to just sit in front of the telly/computer/book when you get home than get changed and head off out again (unless it’s to get dolled up and go for beer, I never seem to have any problems there) but I did it.
I just went for a walk around the local park. I don’t know how far it is, but it took me the first 10 tracks of Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory from going out the front door to coming back in.
I did have a little sit down half way around - well, more than half way to be honest. However, when I’ve done the walk in the past I usually sit down a couple of times (but then I am usually doing it because it is a nice day and I want to watch the ducks). I might have sat down sooner, but there were too many teenagers in the park, and I was too embarrassed!
So, tomorrow I will do the same walk - to the same music, at least that way I can gauge if I am doing it any faster.
I am wondering if I might be aiming too high looking at the walking/running plan I have downloaded - walk for 6 minutes then run for 1? Not sure I can manage that… still, got to be worth a try!
