Wow...so today marks the first day of my running journey officially!! Well didn't I get a wake up call - I did not realise just how unfit I actually am!! It's incredible! I thought...pfft I'll be right! Well holy cow - barely 5 minutes in (minus the warm up!) and I was ready to die!!
Starting from my front door I hit GO on the workout app and I had begun! By the time I walked to the oval and parked Baby Boy in the middle on the cricket pitch (all rugged up and cosy) the warm up was over and it was time to begin!! So off I went running around the soccer goals at either end made for some great sized laps without looking too daunting for my unfit body!!
Music going and the app prompting me when to run (60secs) and walk (90 secs) I was on my way to being A RUNNER!!! At one point I was getting bored and then I heard 'brrrddinngg...you have reached half way' - well that certainly spurred me on to keep going didn't it!! That's not to say I wasn't willing to give up and throw in the towel but I managed to power through and make it to the end! Next thing I know I hear...'Cool Down' so I grabbed Baby Boy and pushed his pram back home with the workout perfectly timed to end at my front door!
The weather was sunny which was perfectly motivating to get out and about but man was it frosty! The chilly morning didn't help the pain in my chest when I was running but all in all I am soo happy that I managed to find the motivation to get out of the house and really start this!
It's motivated a friend of mine to do the same so hopefully we can do this and not give up!!! Baby boy was perfectly behave the whole time - just sat in his pram watching me go round in circle - probably thought mummy was a loony! LOL But that's ok! Let's hope the fresh air does wonders for him!!
Tomorrow I will try and get in some resistance training to help build some muscle strength and with a bit of luck betweek the C25k and some resistance training I'll be back in shape in no time!!!
