It is official.
Im obsessed.......with.........


RUNNING!!

Me?! Obsessed with running?! What a joke!!!
I would never have thought it. This morning I did the first day of couch 2 5k - the NHS podcast - and I absolutely LOVED it!

Pro's
Got me out of the house! - Fresh air
Exercise
It's FREE!!
No special equipment needed..really

Con's
Safety - be aware of your surroundings - I went at lunchtime on a Sunday - but late at night - be careful!
My trainers! BOO!!

All in all when I came back I felt on top of the world that I had accomplished something which involved running! I'm not unfit - but am obviously not the fittest either. I have enjoyed going to the gym to do Body Combat and Bums, tums and thighs, but have always wanted to run.. and I thought it was impossible.
As I'm doing the Race for Life - I thought I'd better get out there and 'pound the pavements' - I LOVED it!

If you're thinking about giving it ago - don't be afraid. It's okay

Top Tip; make sure you tell someone where you are going and how long you think you'll be

I had a little problem with my trainers as I decided to wear my 'walking' trainers which are my reebok easytone - NOT SUITABLE! I thought they would be okay as it was mainly walking rather than running today - mistake!
I am off tomorrow to buy some new 'running' trainers and a fancy waterbottle that has a handle I'm super excited!!

There's loads of brilliant articles - even for beginners on:
www.runnersworld.co.uk Enjoy! xx

I never thought I'd see the day - but I will run 5k!

Oooh let me know if you find a good one of those water bottles, people always have them at my Parkrun on a Saturday and I'm always so jealous!

And I got my running shoes from TK Maxx, Reeboks £15! Bargain! xxx

 

[Alilou21]

Ooh! How fab! Well done! I too have always wanted to run but never thought I could do it! I may just give it a go!! X

I'll let you know how I get on! I'm going after lunch to get my new stuff yay!
Cool! I'm gonna have a look in sports direct I think I researched running shoes last night and know which ones I'm looking for
Have a fab day! Xxx

Thanks Hun!
Just have a go, you'll never know unless you try! If you don't like it then there's no need to carry it on! But give it a good go! Xxx

 

[anna_vixen]

I went shopping!! Instead of buying the usual rubbish - make-up, clothes etc.
I decided to spend my disposable money wisely
I went to sports direct - formerly sports soccer and ended up with quite a bit!

1. Asics gel gt 2150 trainers £55 - on sale WOOHOO!
I researched this LOADS last night - these trainers are good for runners with flat feet, and that overpronate - which I do! Even though I am new to this running malarky - I kinda know what I'm talking about! I tried them on in the shop and feel so light! I'm really looking forward to trying these out tomorrow.

2. LA Gear Short sleeved hoodie. £7
I thought this would be great for jogging/running in as I wont get too hot and worry about the sleeves

3. x2 LA Gear Jogging bottoms £8 - what a bargain!!
So comfy!

4. Karrimor hand held bottle 500ml PINK! £2.49
Perfect for running I think and its pink! Yay!

I thought I did pretty well - now I'm all kitted up there is no reason for me not to go for it!!

 

[anna_vixen]

Here is my bracelet! I already have a Thomas Sabo one, but I wanted a charm bracelet that was just for me to show my weight loss
I wanted a Pandora one, but its really expensive!
So I went to Dorothy Perkins and they had a little display at the counter.
I chose a bracelet, which came with silver stoppers.
I then chose 4 beads to show my 1/2 stone progress, so each time I get half a stone I'll add another bead on.

Wow I love your gear,you will be the trendiest runner in the park! Love your pink bottle! What a bargain defo gonna snap one of those bad boys up. Also do u have an iPhone? Or android? If so you can snap the Runkeeper app right up for FREE in January- usually it's like a fiver for the pro app- it's amazing, tells u how far you've run, gives u prompts every half km! Then after u can see how far you've run on the map!xxxx
