Run, Run, Run!!

So I told you last week I discovered a forest with a jogging course behind my house.

This morning I decided to check it out.

I got all decked out in my Stella McCartney for Adidas gear (OK, fine my trainers were Nike!!!) and headed out. 

I didn't actually do that bad - the course is only 500m a lap and I went for 20 minutes straight with trance blaring out of my iPod.

My God I hated every single second!!! I will never understand this running for fun lark. When I was younger I actually did a lot of long distance running, but as age and laziness has taken its toll, I just can't do it anymore. Give me an hour of intensive aerobics any day over running. It's so....boring!! It's funny though, coz I can easily walk for hours. I just hate running!!!

So why did I do it?!

Well, in NZ this winter I'm planning on doing a lot of hiking and I really need to get my fitness in check before I go. I don't have time to go to my aqua boxing class before work so I figured I'd go for a run instead. I'm still considering cutting it fine into work to make the aqua class - it's way more rewarding than running. I'll see how I feel in about 30 minutes.

Respect to all you runners/joggers out there!! I don't know how you do it!!
