Day 1

Ran/walked as per the schedule-5 min walk warmup,1 min running followed by 2 min walking repeated 3-4 times and cooldown walking of 5min.The dtrs were in soccer practice so I actually walked more than the stated 20 min, but the running took my breath away. I dont know wen in life I forgot how to do a basic function as running. My dtrs run with abandon and I envy them, with me even that 1 min duration was torture.

Today I learnt about 'camber'. Camber is the slope of a road.But its a bit confusing-if I am running on the road facing the traffic my left foot will be slightly lower than the right due to the way the road slopes, so when I turn back on the same side, my left foot will be higher and so balance the workout but now I will be running with the traffic . Which means I can only follow one rule of running-either always face the traffic but then risk injury since one foot will always be higher and the other lower or risk injury from the traffic-take your pick.
So have started, a marathon seems such a long distance and aug 2008 seems so far away, will take one day at a time.
