When I first started the challenge I knew I was a little unfit. Not greatly so, but a little. My plan was to start off with walking to gradually build up to somewhere near the level of fitness I use to have.
From next week [which is week 3 of the 6 week challenge] I'm going to start running.
But, I won't be "pounding the pavement" though. It'll be on the sand along the beach from the base of the Bar Beach car park to the Merewether Baths.
According to the handy distance measurement tool in Google Maps it's a distance of around 1.6km.
I've never really run for fitness before so I have no idea how I'll go.
And why aren't I "pounding the pavement?" ...
I remember Mum mentioning to me ages back that in her audio typist days [for a well known doctor in Newcastle] she remembers vividly, typing up medical report after medical report of men and woman who had knee damage due to running on footpaths and roads.
I want to be able to walk by myself in my old age! ...
