Half marathon training

when you do run outdoors you might find it alot tougher, i used to run on treadmills and went to do my first 10k outdoors, so much harder than treadmills

I actually find running outside alot easier-so I guess we're all different

then again that particular 10k was in a park, with lots of hills and uneven gravel surfaces very hot sunny day too

Maybe you were just unlucky!

Cool! Still unlucky with the terrain tho!

the park they picked isnt a nice one to run on tbh, most of the paths are gravel and theres a big hill on there. its tough to walk up the hill, let alone run up it.

Good time! I've been trying to get 2 girls come with me for my first run outdoors and even though one can run 10k on the treadmill in 56 mins I still wanna run with her, it'll spur me on!

 

[Jenny809]

Tried it all on and showed my new size 8 running outfit to hubby, he says I looked sexy, I was going for someone's who's trying to look fit, I guess I could accept sexy just this once ;-)
