So, the weekend passed with no 'real' training but we did go out for a walk each day; last week saw the most exercise I think I have ever done in seven consecutive days.
We also decided that, to start the week, we would try our first run. Sites recommend that when you start running you alternate between running and walking each minute. Hubby thought it would be more realistic for us to alternate running and walking between each lampost! However, hubby announced that he would be attending a meeting this evening so I would be going solo in the training.
I donned leggings and a large top, to cover the lumpy bumpy bits, I don't want to offend too many people on my travels, and off I set. The route was our power walking one and as it starts off downhill I managed to run all the way, a walk and then a run uphill, a walk and then as I started on the downhill run I passed the local running club coming up the way.
All in all I did better than I thought I would and managed to run further than I thought I could. Things I do need to try and get under control when I exercise are stopping my nose from running, trying to get my breath back a little quicker and stopping my throat from getting sore.
