Rarely venture to these parts of SBT but wondered if there was a thread on running.
I tore my calf muscle last year, tried coming back too soon and tore it again. Then by the time it was healed, it was silly season at work and before you know it, I've eaten my way through the Xmas season with a lot of drinks thrown in.
I jumped on the scales on 1st Jan and I'd hit 13 stone for the first time ever. For someone who is vertically challenged, that's not good. Although I've always had a decent level of muscle and not fat.
Anyway...decided to go for a 10 minute run. A friend of mine ran 10 mins, every single day last year. Even when she was abroad with work.
That first run on 1st Jan was so tough. Even though it was just 10 minutes and about a mile, my lung capacity was shot, my legs felt like jelly and I could feel the fat wobble.
Today, just completed Day 18 in a row. Literally just 10 mins most days although did 20 mins on Friday with me friend who is now on day 383 and yesterday ran 2.4 miles at about 9 mins per mile pace and felt good.
Not sure how many days I'll do consecutively...I'll get Jan done most likely then take for there.
Thought I'd share this for anyone else who hates running as much as me. I feel great after every run, have dropped 4lbs already and feel fitter and a bit slimmer.
Still fucking short though
