Week 1 Day 1

Today was my first day at my running clinic. I was nervous as I have never really ran before. I was the kid in gym class who found every excuse in the book not to run and if I was made to, I found a short cut. This is not to say that I was never athletic, because I was. For 20 years I was a figure skater. The difference between running and skating is that I can stop skating when tired and still keep moving!
However, I found today to be good and actually fun! We started out with a 5 min warm up walk, then alternated running and walking at 30 second intervals each for a total of 15 cycled (we ran 15 times and walked 15 times). I ended up walking during some of the running cycles, but I am going to train hard all week and make sure that I do all 15 with no problem!

At the clinic we were each given a running log book to keep track of our runs which I know will help me a lot.
So here it is folks, the official online log book for my ups and my downs during my training. The TC 10K is in April, that is only 14 weeks away!
Please feel free to leave comments and even advice for me! I will need it in the weeks to come!
