Today marked the 4th week since saying bye-bye to my appendix... It also marked the 1st week of saying hello to training again... With slight trepidation, and a real urge to rather have a glass of wine on the patio, I went for a jog and was so super excited to enjoy it! Starting off slow my chest burned, my knees ached, my boobs bounced (well they always bloody do that actually!) but despite all this uncomfortableness, I found myself grinning from ear to ear the whole way. It felt so good to exercise again, sun on my face, wind in my hair etc etc - the normal clichés blah blah blah, but seriously I really enjoyed it. I really do count myself lucky to enjoy running!
So, putting syrupy sweet cliches aside, armed with a training programme from Runner's World online (fabulous site, all the info you can think of www.runnersworld.co.za) my first goal is to get 5km fit in 5 weeks.. And then a 10km in October! My running soul sister, Catherine Momberg, and I are going to enter the Spar Ladies Race at Wanderers we think... And so I thought of challenging you my lovely readers (all three of you hehehehe)... Who will pledge to do it with me and Cath on the 12th of October? Let's celebrate the fact that we CAN run, and have some fun together doing it?? It can be the 5km race or the 10km... Any takers??
