Time to get healthy
I decided last weekend that I was going to get healthy, so I went into town and picked up a pair of Nike+ trainers and of course I has to get an iPod Nano to go with it…
I went with the 4gb red one - my god it’s nice. It’s replaced the 60gb full size for day to day use. I will continue to use the big boy iPod for long journeys and stuff though.
Anyway, running. I went for my first run yesterday morning, and the Nike+iPod stuff worked great. Unfortunately, my feet didn’t hold up as well. I’ve got some lovely blisters on the sides of my feet, but I’ve since performed surgery on the insoles and they were fine for my little run tonight.
So yes, I’m going to be a healthy geek. I’m following a plan that is supposed to get me from being a total beginner to running 5km in 6 weeks, as well as joining the Zero2Hero group on flickr for a little bit of motivation, so we’ll see how I get on. I’ll be posting updates on here as I go on.
