Loosening up run

7/17/2013

Just a very slow jog home from work to keep the legs moving. No weight and wearing trainers. I've definitely got fitter as before I was running with weight I used to run at this speed but found these hills a bit hard, today they were easy and I was taking my time but this 'slow' speed was my natural running speed when I was running before I started suffering from gout in 2008. Yes, 2008 was the last time I did some serious running before starting this blog.
The next time I post on here will be about the Fan Dance itself. I'm getting excited now and cannot wait for Saturday, I feel like an 8 year old 2 days before Christmas!

Good luck to everyone who has entered the Fan Dance, I'll see you Saturday.

I plan to do this race with my brother 'Strider' (Link to his blog above) on 20th July 2013, mainly to see if at 44 I still have the 'stones' to be able to do it.
The reason I am making this public is to ensure that I actually go through with it and do not back out, because I know that the excuses for not going out training will start, like "I have too much college work to do", "My gout is playing up" or "It's raining".
So by putting my intentions on here and making it public I will be more determined not to embarrass myself by "wimping out".

This blog will mainly consist of what I am doing to train for the event and how the training is going.
I will not have as much time as I would like to train as I work two jobs, am studying in college and have a family that I spend as much time as possible with, so please don't expect superhuman feats of physical endurance... I'm just an unfit average Joe.

The other reason I want to do the race is because "I want that patch sewn on my bergen!"
