First Run
Emma was 6 weeks old yesterday, which we celebrated with an ice cream on Studland Bay, while watching the Dorset Coast Path relay, which Dave ran a leg in for SOC. The day also saw me take to the driving seat once again as my driving ban is now officially over.
Far more exciting though was today’s activity - my first run for I don’t know how long. It was brilliant to be out and I felt OK. The Runners World return to running schedule had me doing 3 minutes worth of running in 3 separate bursts, which is less than I’ve been doing with the pram while out for walks so I just did what felt comfortable. In the end that was 20 minutes of running in 3 bursts with a warm up and warm down walk. My right side ached a little bit by the end of that but otherwise I feel fine. I now have to remember how to upload my training to my computer so I can spend hours analysing my heart rate trace!

Christine,
that is excellent. Does that mean we will be seeing out on a Tuesday night
any time soon? Surely it is Dave’s turn to look after Emma. Plus Darren
is getting lonely at the back…
cheers,
Neil

I don’t think running for 20 minutes very slowly makes me in any way ready to complete an hour of running in the New Forest at a reasonable pace. After a second run yesterday of 4*5mins with 1 min recovery, my legs are aching a bit today so I think I’ll be having a rest day.
