First training session

Hello sports fans,

On Monday I went for my first run of about 2K. The first K went extremely well; in fact, it felt like I wasn’t doing anything at all. However, I then reached the bottom of the downhill slope and realised the only way back was to jog up an increasingly steep hill. I managed it though and found I had got a pretty good workout from that part of the run. I walked the last few minutes back where the ground evens out so I could cool off, but after speaking to Steph she recommends doing some stretches afterwards as well as before exercise. This is probably obvious to everyone in the world except me, but at least I know now.

I was planning to go out again yesterday, but after DJing til 3am the night before then working a full day I just crawled in to bed instead. Instead I’ll go out straight after work tonight and do a slightly longer route. My Facebook group is now active at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=70678628707 – I’ve invited everyone on my friends list to join it. Hopefully everyone will sponsor me!

Matt
