I'm a new runner having started with a 2 mile jog/walk on the treadmill last Friday.
I have virtually no history of running and have always been put off after finishing last in a cross country at school but feel the need to start and just do what I can.
I bought myself some running shoes yesterday and found out that I have over-procrastinating feet
- and they could tell that just by looking at them!
I measured out 2 miles through the local park yesterday as my son (11) is doing the junior GNR this year and is unfit. We jog/walked it in 30 minutes. I jog/walked it myself today in 19m 09s, which is better than I expected and gives me hope.
I plan to run a half marathon in about a year, probably the Great Cumbria Run rather than the GNR because it is less crowded, and a 10 k in February to check my progress. I'll start looking for 5k's when I feel I am able to run the distance.
I'm just happy to have started.
