Christmas day starts early. 6:30am opening Santa's presents for the kids. Today is my first training run though and I sneak out at 11:30am. We are in Cornwall for Christmas and I have a few routes across fields, tracks and country roads. Thank you to Rob & Mark Body for the use of their fields! Not too muddy and no herds of cows today. Fantastic views out over the countyside and across St Ives bay.
I started with a 7.25km run, not fast, just need to get the muscles and joints back into the idea of distance running. My heartrate is higher than I would like(155-165), possibly my being out of condition or maybe a sign I'm a little ill, lets see how it goes in the next few days.
Also got a Lance Armstrong DVD for Christmas. I read one of his books in the summer and was amazed by his story. I am hoping the DVD will be motivational, of course I have not got to watch the DVD as the kids got a Nintendo Wii and have hogged the TV all day.
