ZOMG! An update!

Wow, I actually have something to say today!

It was a cardio-only day today as part of my new fandangled gym regime, so decided to take my new Garmin Forerunner 305 out for a spin around Tooting Bec Common. I stood by the side of the road for 5 minutes without it picking up a satellite, so began to wander down towards the common. It beeped at me, “Are you indoors now?” NO! “Have you moved hundres of miles or km since your last workout?” Erm, I don’t think so!

Finally it synced up and I began my trundle. Oh my gosh, I almost dieded. 2.14k in 17mins 19sec which, if I managed to maintain it, would give me a 10k BP of 1hr 20min (10 better than my first one). Which would be nice, providing I didn’t die before the end :)

Beginning thrice weekly short runs, with 1 long run on Sunday, ‘long’ being very generous.

    Hi Big Runner!

    I’m very impressed you’re getting out three times a week. I’m lucky to get out once at the moment (not sure if it’s because I’m too busy or because I’m lazy – perhaps the latter).

    But one thing I do know is that the key to this is being as regular (running, that is) as possible, so you’ll see your PBs tumbling soon!

    Hey TFR :) I haven’t made it out 3 times yet, that’s just the plan ;)

    Good plan it is too, a 10 min shaving off your pb would be pretty impressive.
