Week 1 Day 1 - success

I started today!  I managed the whole of the Day 1 run, using the GetRunning app and listening to a backlog of the News Quiz.  I do like the way GetRunning plays nicely with the audioplayer on my iphone, pausing it for the start/stop running announcements and fading it for the "30 seconds more" updates.  So I did 5 min warm-up, 8x 1 minute run separated by 90 seconds walking, and 5 min cool-down.  I had to walk another 5 minutes or so to get home given the route I'd taken and then I stretched.

I also used the RunKeeper app to map my "run" which showed that I covered a bit over 2 miles by the end of the cool-down.  (I'm estimating from memory of where I was - next time I'll take a note at that point even if I'm not quite home.)
