Week One Done!!!

Well that's it training has officially started, Thursday just gone I went out for my favourite five mile loop and my eldest completed it on her new Christmas bike.  Trying to catch up with her proved too difficult to be fair and she went streaking ahead.  Everything felt good I had no twinges, no aches, pains and it went without incident and nothing really to report.  It felt great getting that one under my belt and after Christmas boy did I need it!!!  I was then looking forward to getting out there again and the first real opportunity was Saturday morning depending what time I finished work the previous night and whether I got called out.  I finished on time and didn't get called out so just after 8 o'clock I left the house looking to do at least six miles.
It felt like the first day of spring, it was very mild, sun was just coming up and there wasn't anybody around. It was very peaceful. I didn't really want to go out at any real speed it was just to get out and pound the streets but it didn't turn out like that at all my first mile was 11 minutes 45 seconds and there it stayed, all of my seven miles were under 12 minutes which is a lot faster than this time last year.  Again I had no aches,  pains or complaints of any kind it was just a very pleasant walk.
So this week its been 12 miles in 2hrs 21mins 55 seconds burning 1927 calories well that's what Mr Endomondo says, all in all a good comfortable start to my training.

I may have some exciting news next week, well exciting for me anyway and will help to focus my training for this years Parish Walk but that's for next week episode hopefully.

Positive Quotation this week -
No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things.
