I went out for a run. Yes, me. Honestly.
I really do need to get a bit, well a lot, fitter, and I’ve been reading up on the
Couch to 5K programme. “Surely even I can do that”, I thought.
I dug out my old trainers, some jogging trousersand the sports underwear. I downloaded an app for my iPhone. I thought about it some more. “How hard can it be?” I thought.
This morning I woke at 6.30 - it was a beautiful crisp morning, sun coming up, light frost on the ground. And so off I went.
I managed 7.5 out of the 8 x 1 minute runs (ran out of steam half way through #4), but I DID IT. Pete, of course, slept through the whole thing, even my triumphant, if rather breathless, whoops when I got home.
I need some proper running shoes, which I will sort out a.s.a.p., but I think I might actually stick to this.
