Map My Run!

I've started running. Why? Because it gives me something to strive for. A goal.

I've never been good at setting and reaching goals. For me; things usually just happened. This year, I'm calling the year of commitment. I will set goals, set targets and make things happen.

In a nutshell Brendan, a fellow PSB member, is kindly donating his time as a personal trainer to get us lazy bones' up and running in preparation for the 2009 City to Surf fun run.

Now, I've never been much of a runner, but after the first session on Saturday I started thinking that I can do this! With running and walking, I did a combined 4km!

He then set us some homework, 10 minute run, 1 minute rest, 10 minute run. The good news is that I've mapped out a nice little route that undulates and follows the train line. There aren't many people around and not too many cars. One way, its 1.6km - that's a two mile run twice a week! Holy cow!
