It feels like I'm starting from scratch...

Met with Leean for the first time in about 3-4 weeks today for a jog and it really felt like I was starting from scratch!  Its prob because I've only been on average about once a week!

It started well with a 10 minute jog, but then I failed to complete the second block! We then decided that its best for me to slowly build up my time rather than just seeing what I can get in.  So we then went for some 8 minute blocks.  Ok, so we only did 2 as we had turned around cause the Swansea 5K was going to be starting.

So here is the plan - Leean and I will run seperately during the week where I will, for example, next week do 8 minute blocks (for 2 days) and then meet up on the weekend so that I move up to the next set of blocks.  Each week I will increase my time by 2 minutes so that by October I will be in the 20's at least.  If I can gradually build this up then I am more likely to keep going and keep motivated!

My next session is going to be Tuesday and Thursday of next week (doing 8 minute blocks), followed by a session on friday afternoon with Leean to try out 10 minute blocks.  Can't do Saturday next week cause I'm going to the footie with Stu.

Yet another 'watch this space'!  No turning back for this half marathon now as loads of people know that I've committed to doing it! :o$
