First training run

Jul2820094:25 p.m.

Today is the day that I officially started the Zest training programme.  I finally worked out how to take laps on my new watch, although, as you'll see from the timings below I think I messed up the distances, still an average of 9:51 per mile isn't bad as a start!

Total distance: 3.07 miles

Terrian: mix of road and grass

Topography: some hills (mostly up on the way back :( )

Mile 1: 9:27

Mile 2: 12:30

Mile 3: 7:51

Total: 30.23  (33s for the last bit!)

What else is useful information to log???

Pre-run breakfast - can of peaches, black coffee and 2 gingernut biscuits

Music - Diana Krall (borrowed my Mum's i-pod, not the most motivating of music)

Post-run snack - 2 gingernut biscuits, large glass of water (ok, so the biscuits probably aren't great, but at least they are homemade!)
