Week 1 complete :)

So, this morning I did Week 1 Run 3. I am currently away at a "conference" type event, but had an hours freetime, so thought I would make use of the hotel gym (the hotel is in the middle of a very built up area and I didn't fancy trying to work out a route round the streets here). Started on the cross-trainer, as there wasn't a free treadmill, doing the wam up walk and the first 2 runs - I just increased my speed - but then a treadmill became free to I did the rest on there.

I have to say, it wasn't the same as being outside - I think I prefer the outdoors and the fresh air. Also, I wasn't too keen on being able to see myself in the mirror the whole time! On the plus side, I didn't look like a beetroot when I had finished, just a healthy glow!!

Anyway - not more free time until Friday now, when I shall be looking forward to getting back outside and starting week 2....
