okay, crap.
so i've started ye olde couch-to-fiveKm.
meaning i am not yet able to run five kilometres.
a marathon is 42.195 kilometres.
aw, shit.
well. . .what have i done recently?
yesterday i did the VERY FIRST run/walk of the VERY FIRST week of the 5km plan.
today i got out of my stupid bed early and walked to work. i've mapped it and it's 5km neat. so basically within just over two months i should be able to run that distance comfortably.
. . .uh huh.
-------------------------
REASONABLE.
-------------------------
for reference, i consider myself to be a reasonably fit but untrained person of reasonable health, apart from smoking which is. . .very unreasonable to say the least. i'm also not fat, weighing in at a reasonable 55kg at 5'7", and i don't eat total shit, apart from my inability to function without pastry.
so this won't be an amazing, heartwrenching tale of fat american slob turns life around and becomes professional athlete and avoids parents fate of burger-induced type-II diabetes.
sorry.
it should, however, be funny to watch.

I do the walking thing too, but I'm often so running-about-late in the morno that I end up catching a bus halfway.
It's basically 50 minutes door-to-door.
out of interest, if you were to start work at say, 9am, what time do you get out of bed?

you sure did, sweetie. *pats ted's head*
2 months shouldn't be too hard. Jog a chunk of it each day and you'll build it up a lot quicker than you think. I managed to get a 2k run in about 10 mins in about a month of pre-army training
If I'm working at 9 am, I get up at 7, do the getting ready thing, leave at 8, and aim to get there at about 5 to 9. I can usually make it, but if I'm more than 10 minutes past 8, I just get a bus.
