Running yay!

[fadagaski]

I went for a run this morning (Week 2 Day 1 of the C25K program) absolutely dreading it. Friday wasn't a great run, and today I went to 90 seconds of jogging (doesn't sound like much, but feels like it when you first get going). But I was a good girl and I didn't chicken out! So I went for my run.

IT WAS FAB. I found that my pace last week was really too fast for me at the moment, so I slowed it to a bouncy jog and - whoosh! Time just flew. My breathing was fast but even, I managed to get up a couple of light inclines (hit the steep hills just as the Walk beep came on), and when I finished my final walk I could definitely have gone on jogging for 20 minutes, easy.

I'm so surprised that I actually enjoyed the running. More than just being self-satisfied like last week, I liked going out into the countryside and moving my body (and meeting such adorable dogs; OMG want).

January so far has rocked.

ETA: Entirely unrelated to the above, but -

Dear Hollywood,

Please to be making a movie with both Chris Pine and Jensen Ackles in it. I mean, Jesus H. Christ.

That is all.

that's the second person telling me about their running plans! a friend of mine gets up at 4:30am to run before he goes to work! I should start doing this too... :s

4.30am? Not a chance in hell. Currently I don't work in the mornings so I can use that time to do things like eat a proper breakfast and go running, all at my own leisure. When that stops, though, I'll have to change the running to earlier or later. :S Me no want! I like running at 10am. It's so easy!

If you don't like running, try something else like swimming or riding a bike (or skating!).
