I am into my second week of running with Steve. With Steve’s last semi coming up which is going to be a killer he has been running to work everyday. This means I pick him up after work and seeing as we drive by a large local park we might as do another run at night. Not that my run pace is very inspiring for Steve but more so that he is a great motivator for getting me moving. Also, I must say that my calling it a “run” at this stage is also rather misguided.
My first week was more of a nana shuffle, this week was looking marginally better. It is only a 1 mile loop of the park but I did start out at once around taking around 21 minutes (yes, I know, incredibly crap!). By the fourth run I was doing 2 loops around the park and averaging 17 minutes. Yesterday was my 7th time and I did a PB of 15.02. OK, so the next lap after this was 16.35 but hey I can see a definite improvement!
So in short at this stage it looks like this:
1st run: 1 lap, 2.1km’s, 21 minutes
2nd run: 1 lap (not much better)
4th run: 2 laps, 4.2km’s, 34 minutes
7th run: 2 laps, 4.2km’s, 31.3 minutes
