I am definitely a Runner!

[julieg21]

Wasn't looking forward to today's run, just had niggles of pain and just felt as if the body wasn't quite right. It was also raining I haven't actually run in the rain as yet. Today I had to my run as I put the run off yesterday due to the rain!

So out I went with my new toy the Garmin Forerunner 10. Started my Garmin when I started running and did my first mile in 11.45 minutes, quite pleased with that I thought, and this rain is actually quite nice! Breathing was good and yes I think I was actually enjoying it. So into the next mile and all is ok. With about 10 minutes still to go I had to find some new paths as my planned route had ended, so carried on into an estate and the paths were awful, but managed to continue. With about 2 minutes to go my Achilles' tendon on my good ankle started to hurt, I said to myself you have to keep going, pain was getting a little worse but not awful, so on to the finish, the 25 minutes was up and I had covered 2.06 miles. My second mile was a little slower 12.45 minutes.

Slow, I know but I am chuffed to bits.

3 months ago I couldn't even run for 2 minutes. I've had 6 weeks without running in that period due to pulled ankle tendons and have lost 6lb in weight and reduced my body area by 8 inches, 3" from bust, 3" from waist and 2" from hips

Hope my next run is as good
