Running Routine & Improvement

Yesterday, good news : I was invited not to come to work before 1 pm. That was the universe telling me 'No excuse'... So after a good night sleep, I woke up around 7 am, put my disgusting outfit(I look so ridiculous in a sport outfit...) and my beautiful and beloved running shoes on and I was out.

The weather is beautiful today in London : sunny, with a refreshing breeze. Perfect. I started ok but I felt something wrong : I wasn't breathing well. I was not using my usual 1-2 in 1-2 out. I don't know why because it is kind of a natural thing I do but not today. I ended up having breathing issue for the rest of the run :s. But that was okay, I walked a little bit but was out for 25 minutes, 5 minutes more than on Tuesday, and one lap more than on Tuesday too !

I found a quiet little place to run, 3 minutes from my flat. It is right there. And as it is quite small I get to do laps, which is a good way to register your progress, especially when you don't have a running watch.

And while running around the Queen's Club Gardens, I thought & I decided that starting from today I was gonna run everyday, EVERYDAY, until I am able to run 30 minutes or more without walking. By everyday I mean not Sunday, come on even God rested on that day ! It is going to be hard at the beginning but I need to do this. A hundred days to go and I am nowhere near ready... Hopefully it will give me the motivation to run more and faster, so that I can get more day off !
