I hate it and dread tomorrows outing but I feel so good AFTERWARDS it's worth it and if it helps with weightloss and toning well I guess I should move my a$$ and get to it. The thing I hate most about it is running outside where people can see, it's not going to be possible to go out at 7:30am every time, tomorrow will be an evening run, worried about people pointing and staring but I'm going to have to do it end of.
I'd prefer to run in the safety of the gym but Race for Life is outside so I'll have to training outside

my second problem with running outside is the lack of relatively flat runs. I live in the country on the coast and my village is on a big hill, I have nowhere far enough to do a circuit without having a major hill climb. I could run round the block but in order to get the 5k in I'd have to do it 6 times and that is just tediously boring. I've got a little 1and 1/2 mile circuit that I do twice, but it's not great.
