Now you guys know that normally on a Monday I post a make-up look. Well I didn't want to bore you with yet another make-up less face, so I decided to do another little fitness post. On Friday I said that I had neglected walking and I really did feel incredibly guilty, so I've just completed three miles for today and I couldn't be happier about it.
I'm most definitely missing the few things above though. My poor four year old trainers just aren't cutting it anymore, as a matter of fact the only thing they are cutting are my heels.
Headphones wise, I most certainly need an over ear pair, inner ear ones just don't work for me and I end up getting a headache.
I already have one sports bra but if I'm going to really get into this training thing, then I need to make sure my ladies are supported and I could probably do with another one.
Now, I know it's probably not a necessity, but I would love to have a water bottle that isn't so hard to hold, especially for an hour straight. Have you ever tried walking, holding onto a plastic shop bought bottle for an hour? It's hard and I always have to swap hands.
Last thing I could do with is an arm band for my iPod classic. I'm currently stuffing it down my bra as I walk and if I'm honest, it's not very comfy or practical.
Apart from that, I think I'm pretty set to get back into it and hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be walking a lot more. I'm hoping by the beginning of September I can walk five miles a day without batting an eyelid. I'm only planning on walking five days a week, so that would add up to a nice twenty five miles a week, and a whopping hundred miles a month. Now, I know it's not exactly Olympics worthy, but it would be a bloody great thing for me. Having never been a physical/sporty type, I think it's time I change my ways.
Have you guys got any walking/running tips for me?
