Running up that hill

Up at 8 for a run today.  I booked fitball class for later but I figured is probably going to mainly be stomach back and chest work so I went for a run for cardio.

I have new completed week one of my couch to 5k program.  It's only taken two weeks.... But in my defence I have been to the gym for classes instead.  I will try to get back on track with the runs as well over the next week. 

I use an app called c25K pro. It's brilliant.  Basically you listen to your own music 🎶 and a little voice comes on telling you when to run and when to walk . The first week is 5 mins warm up then alternating 60s running and 90s walking then 5 mins cool down . Lasts 30 mins . If anyone is considering starting to run I recommend it . It syncs direct with myfitnesspal as well to show you cals burnt .  Download it, get your trainers on and get outside. Everyone can find 30 mins in their day . Personally I am leaving the ironing and running instead ;-)

I run along a path on my estate up and down . Not quite ready to run on the main pavement yet because I run at 8:30am which is when people are taking their kids to school and the pavements are too busy. The path is not empty though as lots of people walk their dogs down there. Lots of people say hi. I don't feel embarrassed - they don't know that I haven't just run a 10k when I am a hot sweaty mess after four of my one minute runs!
