On my 6th week of running, I began Couch to 5k week 4. 3 minutes run, 1.5 walk, 5 run, 2.5 walk. Lather, rinse and repeat. I failed quite miserably. I made the mistake of roller skating a lot the day before. My legs were tired and I was accustomed to not pushing myself to run. I managed to run 10 minutes out of the mandated 16, and decided not to be too hard on myself because that was still the most I had ever run.
Battersea Park is a great place to run. Flat, circular and chock full of Battersea sporties, who seem generally nice; some of them smile at me as I chug in the opposite direction. Lots of hotties too. But not so many that there is a lack of space. Running in St James' Park, as we have been doing after work, has gotten prgressively more annoying as the tourists and locals take advantage of the weather. I understand both sides of this antagonism; tourists are slow and chilled and want to take pictures of ducks, but damn! There's a crazy smug jogger in the frame. We live in a world of deletable digital pictures people, I'm not going to run around every cute couple or giant family posing in front of the lake.
