Day 3 (Last 5 mins of the 35 min run would have killed me)

OOUUUCCCCCHHHH!!!!!
So......tonight was scheduled to be a 35 minute run....as 5 o'clock approached while i was sitting in work and darkness poured across the sky lol, last thing i wanted to do was run, all i could think about was going home, getting in to the jimjams with a cuppa and getting an early night, but you'll be glad to hear i fought the urge....how i don't know!!!!
Soon as i got in i threw running gear on and didn't so much as stand still at home through fear of sitting down and never getting up ever again.
so running gear on, i set out to the park. My football coach and equally competitive as myself father decided to come with me tonight. couldn't lose face, had to do it.
Didn't feel great from the off, had decided to have a larger lunch today as i'd read last night that people find it more benificial to have lunch as their biggest meal of the day, run in the evening, and then have a small dinner. tbh i don't know if this is gonna work for me....even 5 hours after lunch i still felt bagged up and was so aware of it all through my run.
Ran 10 mins, walked 2.....so far so good.............the run was 2 thirds completed when the father took a short cut through the park while i took the high road lol.....for me this was a moral victory :D he obviously touched back to base before me, but trying to catch up with him gave me the motivation to keep running without another break. as i approached my 30 minute mark i could go on no longer............gutted, probs a mixture of the massive winds i was pushing against in the last 7 minutes of run, and probably because i never took another 2 minute walking break....reckon these little walk breaks will do me good during these early training stages.
so i finished 5 minutes short of my planned run but feel i really pushed myself to my limit tonight so feel good for it.
muscles are killing me already, have to walk down the stairs backwards at the moment through fear of my thigh muscles just falling off lol :D
so another day done.....another day looms.......and whats worse......tomorrows a 45 min run.....at 7am.
I dont think i've ever been out of doors at 7am. wish me luck.
