So far so good.
I went for a run on Tuesday night; 1.5 miles up and down some pretty steep hills. Before I moved, I was running the same distance on the flat, so this is a big change. It took me 20 minutes and I've been incredibly stiff today, but at least I know it's doing me some good, right? I'm going to try to get that time down to... even 19 minutes would be an improvement. I'd like to be able to run the whole lap eventually, but I'll settle for not sitting down, wanting to be sick at the top of the hill first.
My big problem with exercise is I come home starving hungry and eat more calories than I burned off in the first place... not sure how to deal with that!
Got some study done tonight, too, so it's all going pretty well. If I alternate evenings running and studying, I think I could still have some free time to have a social life!

I think a lot of people are surprised that by eating smaller amounts of food, but slower, taking time to enjoy and chew it properly, you'll soon find yourself full up, but without that bloated heavy feeling from having eaten too much. Then have some rice crackers or something standing by for later on when you get peckish.
If you need a virtual running buddy, I need some help to get off my ever increasing arse and back on the road again!!!
It's a good idea to run maybe Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then have the weekend off. Especially to start off with.
