I've been craving a run for a while. I want to get a bit fitter and increase my stamina and running seems like a natural progression from my walking over the past year - a year tomorrow, in fact. The idea of running cross-country on some of my walk routes really appeals to me as I'd like to get fitter and lose some of this body fat I've been carrying for a more than ten years now.
Today's run was the first of hopefully many. Daughter and I took advantage of the crisp, sunny wintery day and took a run/walk around a couple of local parks. We'd run for a minute or so then walk at a steady rate until we'd recovered, then start running again. It was lovely doing it with daughter and she seemed to really enjoy it too, so hopefully we'll keep it up and do it at least a couple of times a week together. It'd be good for both of us to have a bit more exercise and it's nice we can do it together.
