I've been as kiddy as one of my kids today at work waiting for confirmation that my new running shoes had arrived. I couldn't wait to get home and try them on.
They take a little getting used to - they feel very different to the walking boosts I'm used to. But I like them.
So this evening, after helping the kids with their homework for a bit and getting them into bed, and went for a wander. I needed to get some steps I'm because my Fitbit was having a problem (think the battery was low / flat and the app didn't pick it up) so I had no log of my steps between 7:45am and 6pm. And I had promised to help out with the Scout Hut again.
I walked to the hut, a bit too shy to try a run or even a jog. But a few of the folk there were supportive and encouraging so I held a bit braver by the time we'd finished. I flicked on my C25K app and selected the beginners "4 weeks to 1 mile" option (I think I'm a bit far off 5k just now) and followed the instructions.
It was only 4 x 45 second bursts of running with plenty of walking in between, but I did it. And it wasn't so bad. I like the gentle introduction idea. It suits me.
They say the first step is the hardest.... Well I've taken it!
Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views.

I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.
