So I’m freshly showered after my exercise today.  Yoga?  Good!  Walk to and from run-route?  Lovely!  Body weight workout with sit ups and lunges?  Tough but feeling strong.  Run?  Bloody awful!

Perhaps I should have taken into account the fact that the boys giving me advice on running have been playing rugby since they were seven and they’re 21 now - that’s a lot of years.  I seriously overestimated my fitness level, I practically died out there!  It is HOT, the hottest weather we’ve seen this year in this country.  I have more freckles than I did when I left this morning!  But seriously, it was awful.  I ended up running 5 lamposts and walking 5-6.

That left me seriously scared.  How am I going to do this 5 times a week?!  I can’t give up, but by gosh this is not fun!
