Beginners Run

Did the first of 10 sessions with Northside Sports Club yesterday. I think we did around 3-5Ks. Mix of jog & walk as this is but a taste of what we're in for. Was quite nice running around Crows Nest (Sydney) & down to St Leonards park. Small group of girls (about 9 of us).

We have 2 trainers: Steve, who fronts the group & Toni (god bless) who runs at the back with the last person - which was me (-:

Think my ankle was my main concern & running in semi darkness on uneven surfaces. So I was mindful of this.

By the end of the session Steve said he wanted our group to run in the Sydney Bridge race on the 9th September! He wasn't joking.

Overall, it was pretty good & although this morning my calves were sore & my ankle stiffer than usual - I feel pretty good. We have been told to run an extra 2 times a week (yes homework!) in order to cope with the intensity of each weekly session. Also it's a bonus as it works in with my IBO program. Nothing like a bit of push.

Today is my day off so I'm going to the Mall with my partner who said he will shout me lunch (my free meal). I feel like a Vegie burger sandwich and chips & although I am more than happy to cook these at home we'll see what we can find.

  1. I hope you enjoyed your free meal Jamii! Beer-battered chips are my fave, and I have to have these on my free meals out.

    I suck at running, but I'm getting better. I admire people who can run. Glad things are coming along for you and hope your 'homework' goes well too.

    Ciao...Kerry :)
