Started training for Race for Life this week, am determined to at least be jogging the 3miles this summer.
We're starting out by walking a few route near work, it a bit limited at the moment due to flooding of a lot of footpaths (i'm not talking mud and puddles, the route we wanted to take on Tuesday was about 0.5m under water!). But we've found a good little starter route which has a round trip of 2.5 miles and we're just ambling along doing that in about an hour with a stop for a quick bite and a drink, we'll be doing that as a group 2ce a week and it's the route I usually take with Beast 2 or 3 times a week for lunch anyways so I imagie I'll be doing the walking 4 times a week (meeting and work dependant) and badminton 1ce a week.
Hoping to up the route to a round 3miles next week, then keep that up for a couple of weeks and then we'll start trying to do it in 5 mins less a week, the idea being gradually we'll go from plodding along, to brisk walking, and then jogging.
Trying to convince people it'd be a good idea, while we're walking, to pick a longer route than what we actually need to do when jogging...more exercise being good for ya, right?
Apologies for the rambling, am meant to be booking in pics at work, waiting for the load screen to bugger off!
But yus, if anyone feels like being the first to sponsor me, or even the 2nd or 3rd, please pop over to my webpage and dig deep, many thanks http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/robynbewseyholden
