Training 12

Today was a tough day in terms of motivation. I took some advice I made and just put on my running clothes even though in my heart the last thing I wanted to do was step out on the road. Well, that advice did the job! I was out on the road about twenty minutes later and took a different route to the one that I did last week. I couldn't tell you how far I ran as I didn't map it out, I just took to the road and followed my clock. Today was another session of run 8 minutes walk two. I like this session. It's long enough to feel like I'm actually running, but also still has a walking moment for when I feel like I'm about to crack.
I was aware of the wind against my skin today, which was probably the best feeling of the session. My knees don't hurt when I'm running, but my calves certainly do! Those muscles seem to be taking the most strain.
I must say that having done the run I feel much better. Perhaps those endorphins are starting to kick in! (During the run I was thinking of the million things I could complain about on my blog, but I can't really remember them now)
My biggest blow has been a journey UP the scale again - half a kilogram. That wasn't what I was hoping for at all!
