Day One, Week One, ish!

So now I have some donations I guess I'd better get my arse motivated and do it.

I signed up to a couple of websites to help with my training (or attempt at). One of them miraculously gave me a regime to work towards starting slowly and building up to a half marathon. Session one read "A steady ten minute run". I thought that's a little to easy let's go for 20. That was a bad idea as the day after (today) I feel like my legs are about 60 yrs older than the rest of my body.

The second website helps you plan your routes by basically dragging an icon around google maps and it adds up the distance so I planned a few routes which I thought were pretty long and gruelling, but google tells me otherwise (the bastard). for instance my "stage one" route in my head was a steady few miles. WRONG ! Google say's 1.6 miles, this was demoralising to say the least but then I though well, 8 and a bit of them and that's it cracked.

I have now decided that my level of fitness solely depends on what headphones I have when I am running therefore once I get my sennheiser neck strap headphones this will immediately solve the problems caused by 5 years of junk food and lager, oh yeah and sports mixture.

Well I don't know how long I will keep the blog going as I'm pretty sure I will quickly run out of stuff to say but hey ho check back in a couple of day's and see if anything exciting has happened or if my chest has collapsed from trying to inhale more oxygen than my body can handle at the top of gornies hill!

Oh yeah don't forget to sponsor me if you haven't already, and if you have then do it again you tight gits!
