Sunday 10th June 2007
I set off from home at 15:54 on Park road not going to fast. Went onto Bennet's Lane and then onto the Prom at the end and headed along it towards Hoylake.
Got to where Roman Road meets the prom and met friends Graham and Catherine and family on a family bike ride along the prom. I was very glad of the stop as I was feeling it very badly.
Chatted to them for about five minutes (unfortunately not stopping my watch) and then carried on to the tennis courts where I felt I had to walk for little while.
Started again and did the loop around the tennis courts and headed back along the prom away from Hoylake.
Carried on feeling extremely hot and had a very dry throat (maybe a bit hot today) and it was getting to me. Had to walk a little again between Roman road and Davenport road.
Then did the final stretch back down Bennet's along Park Road and home.
I was shattered by the end but it was more hot and thirsty. While I was running I really felt hot!!
Stopped my watch when I got home at 34 minutes (Ouch!!!)
Not as good as I hoped for my first outing but I tried. Watch this space for my next run of the same course.
Stats:
Start Time: 15:54
Duration: 34

Hello Chris
I am a running buddy of John's who has included you as one of his new running "mates" on his own blog: http://easyrun.blogspot.com/
Running is a funny thing, the more you run the easier it does get...
But then you go and do something daft like try and run faster and improve on your times, thereby making it more difficult for yourself once again. Both John and I can vouch for that!
Any way, keep both your running and your blog going.
