Taking kit to work with me today so I might get to the gym

Is this where I have to do one of those mis-quotes again?

Afraid not - have to take a rat to the vets so it does seem like my workout today is pointlessly carrying my kit to and from work

I just bought myself 3 pairs of 1000 Mile socks as they supposedly top blisters while running. I'll let you know if they work as both my feet had developed HUGE 1.5 inch blisters on my instep with my normal socks.

Did 5km on the treadmill in 33m46s and that includes my 1min of walking to warm up at the start. I'm not too displeased seeing as I haven't been running for a while

I kept myself from being bored by identifying makes/models of cars which drove by the window and not allowing myself to look down at my distance until I'd done 10.

It's quite nice being able to time yourself accurately, but my gym is normally busy on week nights so I can only go on for 15 mins at a time, which is useless. I've vowed to do some exercise 5 days a week until hols now, so that means some running as I hate the gym when it's busy. Really do need some new trainers though. :/

WELL DONE DAWN btw

I noticed that there's a 10km charity run being done by my leisure centre. Unfortunately, it's next weekend and I don't think I'll be up to spec on time for that. Booo!! If it was a couple of months away, I might have gone for it.

It's said that to get from running 0-5k is far harder than to get yourself from 5k-10k. I wholly agree with that!

lostkat · 25-08-2008, 16:49

Ooooo, that's encouraging!!

Roberta · 25-08-2008, 17:13

You'll be legging 10k in no time!

Good lord, I think I've just done about 8km. I usually go once around the reservoir, but this time I turned around and jogged all the way back round. Just measured it on a map and it's around 8km. Didn't stop once. WOOHOO!

Didn't find it difficult knackerednesswise. You just kinda... get used to it don't you? My calves ache a bit now though.

Excellent Kate

I'm still trying although its carp compared to everything everyone else is doing

I'm up to 30 seconds walking up to speed, 15 minutes jogging and 30 seconds walking down to still. I tried setting the machine a bit faster but even going up 1 setting gives me pains in my shins and knees within a minute or 2

In the 16 minutes I seem to be hitting 1.12km so I'd be there for over 2 hours to get to the distance you're doing

Gym was packed today and I did still get on though so thats an improvement at least
