Matt Gets Running

Well, that was a bit muddy. My shoes are soaked. As you can see from the Run­Keeper log, I went through Leigh Woods today.

I was going to take a dif­fer­ent route from nor­mal, but I got halfway through it and found the track so muddy that I actu­ally had prob­lems stand­ing up on it, let alone walk­ing or run­ning. And there were assault-course-style downed trees across the path here and there, too. So I turned around and did my usual route instead.

This is one of my longer runs in terms of time, but not in terms of dis­tance. That’s because I kept on stop­ping to shoot bits of video here and there. I may post the res­ults at some point, if I can get over how fat I look in the footage.

I’ll be blog­ging about fat spe­cific­ally fairly soon, by the way, as I’m plan­ning to lose some weight in between now and the half mara­thon in Septem­ber, and I think I should do it pub­licly. It seems to have worked for the run­ning, in terms of keep­ing me going!

Any­way. Yeah, so, 9K today, through nice wood­land, in a sec­tion of the Bank Hol­i­day where it wasn’t actu­ally rain­ing much. Fol­lowed by lunch from Boston Tea Party

Have a good Easter, everyone!
