I wish, I went this morning so tomorrow is a rest day for me. Hope everyone who's heading out has a good one :)

Happy New Year!

Here's a link to something interesting about running, if you haven't come across Christopher McDougall and his book Born to Run before:

(I haven't read the book, but this 'TED' presentation makes me think it could be quite interesting.)

I got this book for Christmas - its amazingly inspiring, I strongly recommend it. If people can run up and down mountains for 100 miles perhaps I could make it out for a half an hour trot today! Happy New Year everyone!

Like Cazvs, I was out pacing the streets this morning so tomorrow'll be a rest day, unless the kids stress me out, and then I'll go for a run in the afternoon!

G'luck to all of you who do go out tomorrow, and Happy New year :)

Happy New Year everyone! I'm going to go for a run today - a very special run I've been saving for New Year's Day - my graduation run!! Can't wait to get out there.

I've been out and done my bit.

Still not exactly on track since I hit a wall with the running a couple of months ago but still getting out there and also going to the gym.

Just trying a change of tactics and created my own interval run. 5 Minutes run, 3 minutes walk four times. First time trying it out for size today. It's just about tough enough. Will adjust and try different intervals over the next month or so to see if it gets me past the block.

Happy running everybody.
