First runs in 2010

We finally got to run! And I got to meet the new Beginners - as well as some familiar faces. Monday's 7pm run was more eventful than hoped as we diverted to avoid an idiot bloke. Many thanks to both 7pm groups for tolerating me shooting off to greet the 8pm groups.

Congratulations to Sonia for completing her first 5K run - great achievement.

You might find this linked article about a Chinese Marathon entertaining - just hope you're not inspired by it!

Anyway, distances & times based on the forerunner on my wrist - add some distance if you looped back (approx 100m every time). Calorie count is based on my body weight!

• Monday 7pm 7.19km in 47:30, I used 594 calories
• Tuesday 8pm 5.04km in 40:01, I used 343 calories
• Monday 7pm 5.34km in 46:27, I used 303 calories
• Tuesday 8pm 3.29km in 30:05, I used 205 calories

The Beginners will be running 1 minute, walking 1 minute for the first 10 mins then running 2mins walking 1 min for 20 minutes.

See you on Monday/Tuesday!
