The actual start of training - Week commencing the 11th April

Ok, so 8am in the gym (even though I have a migraine!). On my way out I book myself in with a personal trainer to write me a plan with training for the half marathon in mind. That's booked in for the 15th at 4pm.

Tuesday 12th, I run home from work for the first time and do my first road run since.... I can't remember when. It went well, but I'm disappointed with myself. It was 2 miles, including a hill. I did it in 15 minutes. Why am I disappointed? Because I didn't run the whole way, I walked for a total of 3 minutes.
Don't get me wrong, this time 5 months ago I wouldn't have been able to do this in this time, but I want to run all of it and not have to walk after 4 minutes, which I'm not used to on the running machines. Oh well, first time and I am pleased that I did it. One thing I noticed - it hurts my ankles. No surprise there as I have funny ankles that turn in on themselves. Best get that sorted!

So far this week, so good. There's still 5 days left though and I'm planning a spinning class, yoga and a personal training plan session at the gym.
