Got home from work, long day, tired, blah blah blah.. I was planning a run, the same route I scoped out with a walk yesterday, 6km. On the way home I was telling my carpool pal that I was tired and just wanted to lounge on the couch, and he said 'just stay home, relax, you've had a hard day'. I walked in the front door, directly upstairs, changed and headed out.
I don't run much outside so I thought I would do 1 minute run, 1 minute walk and see how it felt. From the minute I started my run my lungs were screaming, I couldn't catch my breath and my heart rate was high but I thought HTFU and kept going. Not every run is going to feel good and relaxed. I just arrived home and checked my stats. I actually ran 6km in the same time it took me to run my 5km race 2 years ago. Nice, I will only get faster from here.
Now I stretch.

Sukhi - I'm going to make you run next time, 1 min on, 1 min off, just like I did.
Johan - thanks for always being there with a supportive word. After reading your PFG blog I have been incredibly inspired! I'm sure you must have felt like this alot when you started and your transformation is absolutely amazing.
Nice job.
Way to keep at it! Soon enough you'll start to enjoy running and then your hooked :)
