The Brass Tacks

So, my newest fitness goal is to complete a 10 km run. I haven't run outside since my orienteering course in university so this will be a huge challenge for me. Since then I have run at the gym on the treadmill, but that is a totally different experience. It's not REAL running.

I don't really have a date set for a run - I would just like to be able to complete a race..approximately 6-8 months from now.

Today was my first training session. I did a total of MAYBE 3 kms, and of those, I MAYBE ran a km of it. I didn't think it was possible to injure myself on my first trek out,but apparently I was wrong. My hip flexor is sofa king sore, it's not funny.

I now sound like I have smoked a carton of cigarettes.

The Brass Tacks?

I have to keep telling myself that I am not 22 years old, 50 lbs thinner and fit as a fiddle- so I should take it easy. I'll get there. Eventually.
