Today I ventured out into the big wide world of outdoor running! There is a hilly road on the peak of our town called Roman Road. My Husband and the Kids took me to the start of it and followed me in the car whilst I ran the entire length of it and then some! It was very very different to running on the treadmill and actually more enjoyable despite the fact that there was a lot of uphill and down hill work involved. By the time I reached the end I had been running for 30 minutes without even realising. Lee (my husband) suggested that this is because I was concentrating on a distance rather than looking at my time every few minutes. Im definately going to do lots more outdoor running but I'll need to carefully plot routes or I might end up doing a Forest Gump!
My only regret today is that I didn't warm up and warm down properly so my calf muscles are really hurting.
