Day 2: 30min

I made it to the second consecutive day of running, another great 30min.
I went to bed a minute or two to 1am for I had quite a lot of private biasharas to clear but was up by 5.40am and started running at 5.52am. The pace was as friendly as yesterday's but the itchy-scratchy feeling was not there. Also, my starting point was much nearer that yesterday's. Good enough.
I met 19 other people running but Jaymo was not among them.
Over to the weigh-loss bit. I had numerous errands to run yesterday so I ended up not taking lunch. Was hungry as hell, even after drinking several mls of water. Somehow, I made it to the evening and had me a great ugali, sukuma and liver meal.
I can feel the effects of the walk home and the two 30-min morning runs... the legs are singing!

Day 1: 31 min run

Wah, I am in a bad shape, a really bad shape! That I confirmed with the morning run, 31 minutes and a few seconds on top. Two minutes into the run and I was itchy all over, so itchy and scratchy-feely that I was tempted to sit me down and scratch my legs and thighs silly! But I didn't - I just ran on...
Anyway, I took Jack's advise seriously: Start this week with an easy 30min run, every day and rest for just two days in a week. So I did an easy 31 min: 15 minutes, then 5 minutes of stretching and 16 minutes back. Tosha.
Waking up was not the easiest of things considering the fact that I turned in late, about 12.15am, but I did manage to leave the house by 5.43am, walked 12 minutes, then took off. Went quite well ... met about 18 runners among them Jaymo.
Good enough for day 1. Now where to get those weighing machines... I need to know if am still 96kgs ...

PS.
I am working on two fronts: a) Lose weight, a lot of it; b) Figure out the ways and means of doing 21km in under 2hours...

1hr 40min walk

I walked home, about 11km. I did a brisk pace but after 1hr 15 min, I was all drenched and gasping for breath so I took it easy the last bit.
I started off with a view to doing just 30 minutes of brisk walking but look where I ended up!
I am much better: the back is good and the psyche is up. I should run, shortly, as I prepare for the Stanchart race slated for end of October.
In the meantime, I have to lose about 16kgs by October 25. Any suggestions (just don't touch the food, eh)?

PS.
I need new running shoes, any idea? Also, shoes that I can wear to the office and walk home in them in the evening...
