Laura says I'm a runner now.

Been a bit concerned about this 25 minute non stop run. I had a busy old weekend and went out after 5pm on Sunday. It was cloudy with a nice breeze, and much cooler than it has been. I did a longer warm up than usual and set off nice and steady. There were a few other runners about and one guy actually sped up a little running towards me. I was impressed!!

It wasnt easy and at one point I almost felt as if I was running backwards! But it got better as I went on.

My long term aim is to run from my house to the Angel of the North and back which is a bit less than 5k. I got much closer last night and with a bit more speed I know I can get there!!. Next run tomorrow morning. Today I am going to do week 2 of the strength and flex.

You know the old saying "if it seems too good to be true it probably is"? Well this plan is the exception!!

Keep it slow and steady and you will get there... just take your time and get to those thirty minute runs safely!

You will get to the Angel of the North and sit on its feet and be able to bask in the glory of the run !!!! Wonderful!
