Set out this morning in my new Asics to try the 35 minute week 1 run a bit worried tbh as I've been suffering with ankle problems for 3 weeks now, it's an inherited problem that I've got from my Mum that flares up every so often usually when it's colder but hey ho it's just about gone and I did it hurray!! I'm so chuffed, ran down the (very steep) hill to the old rail line trail and then walked back up the hill (no way can I manage that yet! :D ) 35.01 minutes and 5.24 km running :D (bit blurry picture, it was lovely even when the wind tried to blow me off the path but I didn't want to stop) Happy running everyone :D

Sounds like a great run and great speed too. Hope you enjoy the plan, I'm loving mixing up the run lengths.

Yay for getting out there! How were the new shoes?

Nothing beats a good dose of fresh air...now to master running up that hill :-)

Thank you, they're Gel Cumulus 21's and have so much better cushioning than my old trainers, which might explain my pace :D I've really got to try brave up and conquer that hill :D
