    2. Wipe away snot.
    3. Check for bird poo on forehead.
    4. Head up (remove any trace of extra chins)
    5. Smile like it's not hurting one little bit.

    Hi guys.

    My name is hypno, and I am a newbie :D

    Well, I might as well be :rolleyes:

    BUT, today, after over three months of exhaustion and excuses.......and carrying an extra stone in weight.......I came home from work, got my (now tighter than is reasonably comfortable) running gear, and headed out.

    No watch, no garmin, no goals, no races in mind, no idea of distance, time, or miles per min.........

    .......but I did a good 20 minutes......nice and steady.......

    AND I DIDN'T WALK :D

    I have no idea where it will take me......I just need to get back into the enjoyment of it at the moment, get comfortable with it, and have no pressure.

    Am I allowed back in the club :o

    I missed you lot too - but I just couldn't do it. I know it sounds a cop out, but I didn't have anything left to give.

    But, big kick up the backside, and I am bringing myself out of that lethargy cycle.

    I was pleasantly surprised - I thought I would perhaps make the end of the road before walking the rest. Instead, I was able to plod consistently for far longer. I could probably have gone further, but I wanted the confidence element of getting round without stopping, rather than flaking out with half a mile to go.

    I don't think I went far or fast enough to ache tomorrow - if I do, then it is a sign of just how bad I have let things get :rolleyes:
