Just a quick post today - I did indeed increase my running time to 2 minutes run + 1 minute walk when I went for a jog last night. It was tough, as I imagined it would be, but I ran (well, ran and walked) over 2 miles, which I thought was pretty impressive for someone who doesn't run for the sheer fun of it. The hardest part was when I encountered even the smallest upwards incline in the terrain - tiring work! Nevertheless, I hope as I carry on with the training, my legs will feel less stubbornly heavy by the end of the run. I'm also hoping that when I figure out how to securely strap my MP3 player securely to my arm, I can run to music, because listening to my own thoughts is getting a tad dull.
I should probably mention what the title of this post refers to; today Eva* directed me towards a handy website that allows you to, basically, map your run (or walk/bike ride/hike). It uses Google Maps to calculate how far you've travelled, which is pretty nifty. This is how I know that I travelled over 2 miles. It's a simple idea, but brilliant.
*I may end up mentioning Eva a lot. She may start charging me royalties...

Stick with the uphills... they'll come in handy for the couple of long ups on the GNR route. Take the pain now, and they'll be easy come the big day!
