So first Gym session proper today and it strangely felt good to be back. The more I ran and cycled and weighted, the more I came to realise just how much the 'right' songs can help you get into the workout. (iMix to follow). By the standards I used to do before heading off to Uni, it wasn't much. Just a 2k treadmill (1% incline) run in a little over 10 minutes, which is a start, followed by 4k cycle in 10 and a bit minutes. Then just some pyramid weights sets working on upper body. My shoulders will ache in the morning. Not too bad a start, but still plenty more to do. My targets are forming in my mind, but I've not really set any at the moment because I just want to make some visible progress first!

So today I finally had a gym induction. And ran, rowed, biked and stretched. And ached. But that's beside the point. I've started the running diary as part of the blog for numerous reasons.

1. I want to chart my own progress.
2. I want to find recommendations for running tunes
3. Share my own running playlists to help others who are perhaps in the same boat as me and wanting some running motivation.

First thing - the Nike kit isn't for the gym. So, geeks, you'll have to run outside. But Nike+iPod is disturbingly good. I love it, swear by it, hell even own it ;)

That's it for now. I'll post once I've got links for all the iTunes tracks. I've got 2 playlists at the moment that I'll share with you soon. iMixes are neat.
