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.)

Excellent idea! Much better to put records in a community rather than using the thread of your earlier post for accountability. Thank you again for providing me with motivation to get started with this and hopefully to keep it up over the coming weeks.
