13th January

When I first saw Janes gym, I couldn't see the treadmill, and was happy, ecstatic actually, to learn that she didn't have one. Well, if I thought I was getting away lightly I was very wrong.....this morning I will be jogging up, what I can only describe as a very very large, steep hill. I'm ashamed to say I haven't jogged/ran since I was at school (10 years ago). This is going to be horrible.....

09.00 - We meet Helen and Colleen and head toward the track that leads to the mountain (its not a mountain but thats how it appears to me at this moment). We'll start jogging at the start of the trail. I have this dreaded feeling that I wont make it along the path, never mind up the hill.....but I will do as I'm told and at least attempt it......

10.00 -I can't believe it! I actually managed to keep with the group. We mostly jogged 2 minutes, walked 1 minute. Maybe not athletic standards but a real achievement for me. I really enjoyed it too. It was a lovely morning, beautiful scenery and a great feeling of self achievement, all before 12 noon on a Saturday! At this point, I'm usually in bed nursing a hangover! I'm already looking forward to my next workout....
