New record

I did my weekly 5K walk this morning and managed to pick the only hour of the day that it didn't rain. Am I lucky or lucky? :o)  And to top it all, I walked my fasted 5K to date.  Things couldn't be better.

I hope that one day that time will be much shorter because I will have run that distance.  

Talking about running, I was researching shops specialised in running shoes, because I feel that the soles of the ones I have are a bit too stiff and are not adequate for my weight and feet.  There appears to be a shop that offers a gait analysis in my hometown, so I'll probably visit them next weekend.  On their website, I found a link to a local athletics club and apparently they are organising a Start2Run course starting mid-September. Start2Run is the local equivalent of the US C25K programme I started on the iphone app. I am seriously considering registering with them because running in group will undoubtedly provide the stimulus I need to push myself to the limit and beyond.

Something to look forward to.

Until tomorrow...
