For the first time since I was a child, I ran a full kilometre. It's true that's actually not that far, but for me it was a big accomplishment. It wasn't that long ago when I couldn't have ran 300 metres without slowing to a walk. My goal is to be able to run in a 5km race without having to slow for a walk.
Up until now I've been using MapMyRun, I've just downloaded Runkeeper and it has programs in it. One program is for a new runner to train up to a 5km run. Sounds perfect for me. So I will try that. I've also purchased a book on amazon, "Ultimate Beginners-Running-Guide Book" for $5. It was pretty helpful and was worth the price.
As lame as it is, the idea of being a runner has always appealed to me, even when I hated running. I'm a bit of a morning person and have always liked the image of going for a run in the early morning wearing the university t-shirt/jumper. One day when I create a company I want to able get up early and go for a run wearing the company's t-shirt. When I ran for council in 2008 I have to admit I loved wearing my campaign t-shirt. There's nothing like wearing a t-shirt with your own name on it!
