I'll try again! Couch to 5k

Well, those daily posts over the summer holidays seem a long time ago now! Things have been busy both at work and home and, well I've just managed time badly. Fingers crossed I'll get on top of my time management one day!

The past month hasn't been a particularly active one. I ate something that didn't agree with me (I think a sweetener), that triggered a pretty naff period of gout. It impacted both feet, thankfully, not quite at the same time!

I woke up feeling inspired this morning as I've been about 5 days without any discomfort. It was early (I woke at 5am), so I thought I'd get up and go for a little run before the wife took the dog for a walk. Completely unplanned, I dug out my running gear which hasn't seen daylight for a year or more, did some stretches and headed to the local park. I decided on the park as it's flat - I live on top of a hill. I thought I'd give myself a slim chance of not killing myself on the first time out.

The timing isn't quite accurate as I used the C25K app on my Fitbit. The activity app decided it would take over half way through which confused matters a little. On the up side, it at one point thought I was travelling fast enough for it to be identified as a run! A Sunday miracle.

I'm sure my little legs will be complaining in the morning but it's made me feel pretty good so far today.
