Running has taken a back seat to swimming at the moment. I’m working on building up my stamina in the pool as I’m too wary to run on the treadmill yet and its far too cold to run outside at the moment. At the weekend it was -5 including the wind chill factor – brr

My training has stalled because its been so cold and there has been snow (70% chance of snow tomorrow). But we have joined the gym so I can start again this week.

I had my second training session last night. H was great and came and did it with me, plus he timed all the sectons.

We have a 5 minutes walk to warm up, then we jogged for 2 minutes then walked for 4 minutes – we did this 5 times. It was actually quiet difficult which shows how unfit I am.

I now have to rest days.

The sports centre opens again at the weekend (its been shut for 18 months becuase of a fire) so I’m going to see about classes and things to up my general fitness level

I had my first training session last night. I printed off a programme from the cancer research website especially for beginers. I had to walk for 5 minutes to warm up, then run for 1 minute then walk for 1 mintue 10 time then a five minute walk cool down. Elliott was really good and did it with me and timed each bit which was really helpful and supportive of him. The programme gives me a night off tonight which is good as its valentines day.

I’ve paid the £10 entrance fee and set up an online page for fundraising. I’ve set myself a £50.00 target for fundraising. Closer to the time I’m going to ask my ann summers customers to sponsor me as I don’t know that many people at the moment to ask.

I’ve selected the run option!!!! OMG I’m so out of shape. I’m going to start training this week.

I’ve found out that there is a £10 entrance fee. That’s ok but I need to wait until I’ve been paid before registering.

I want to run the 5km Race for Life
