Today is 3 minute runs, five of them, with the usual 1 min walks in between.

I am getting into the flow of it. I feel I could easily carry on beyond the three minute beeps of my watch, but of course I am glad of the chance for my breath to slow down again. The main thing is that my pace feels sustainable, breath-wise.

It was hot today and at midday instead of evening. I like to get good and sweaty.

I am surprised how running is toning my whole body, not just the obvious places. I also feel stronger and more powerful and confident these days.

The obstacle is still the starting off, i.e. getting out of my usual activities and onto the road.
