That’s right, it’s no spelling mistake – it says ‘learning to rum’ and it’s exactly what I did.

First outing in the public with my new feet and ever so fancy tracksuit bottoms and I rocked the streets of London. Well let’s be honest – I actually rocked myself.

The upshot of this is that I think the running debacle could be ok and I’m going to keep a ‘mini blog’ here to record my progress. So, first run and I did 1.5miles in 20 minutes which im sure is entirely pathetic but I had to start somewhere.

I managed to track my mileage by remembering the streets I panted down and then mapping it on this website which is a rather fancy web 2.0 site if I do say so myself (and being a top web geek I can…)!

So there we have it:
Time out:20 mins
Distance: 1.5 miles
Condition after: sweaty horrible panting mess
