Well, since my last blog 3 weeks ago I have kept up with my training and attended my running club. I find it very difficult to train in between my Wednesday night due to Paul's shifts and me working. However I have done and it has been great!
Last week, which was week 9 of the beginners course we ran 13 mins/ 2mins walk twice. We then ran up a hill which was really tough...but exhilarating! I was only able to run once since then before tonight's run. I decided to push myself and ran for 15 minutes/ walk for 2 mins then ran for 15 minutes. I find that the first few minutes is hard but then I get into a running rhythm. Ooh did my legs ache after that!!Not sure whether that is normal for runners but that is what seems to happen to me. I'm lucky as so far I have not had any real problems the following day. My legs are pretty strong it's my abs that need work!!
Tonight, I assumed we would be running further but the leader decided to do interval training with us. 11 minute warm up and then lots of starting & stopping. Very exhausting but apparently good for you. Don't know about that but my legs are aching tonight. I was so tired when I got home from work tonight and it would have been so easy to not go but I made myself. So glad I did.
Now I'm enjoying a nice cold glass of wine...mmm not sure whether I should have bought that bottle on the way home. But hey...it's nearly holiday time!! x
