My Janathon activity on Monday and Tuesday this week was limited to dog walking. First thing in the morning. In the dark. So today I felt that it was time to kick it up a notch on the running front. I still took Murdoch for a walk (in the dark), but after I'd left him with his daycare people I headed straight to the playing field to do a few laps.

My aim for today was to build on the 20 minutes that I have managed so far and to keep a (slow) steady pace without walking. Misson accomplished! I trotted around for 25 minutes and did 2.04 miles - the first time I've exceeded the 2 mile mark since I started my post-injury comeback. It started to rain as I did the last couple of laps. I'd forgotten how good it feels to run and feel the rain on your face, so it was a really great start to the day.
well done you thats brilliant yes best to start off slow and enjoy it thats the aim.......otherwise if you don't enjoy it you won't keep going out. always come back feeling could of done a little bit more therefore not completely wiped out....good stuff I'm hooked on your blogs now so keep it up.....
