Run Run... Run!

I dont think I would want to run in this weather :s

Slam the door shut. Shoes off. Socks off. One mile in just under seven minutes. A new record! This is running we are discussing here if you were thinking "what on /earth is she on about?"
Now as I am fairly new to the blogisphere, (I am also not so good on terminology- please tell me if I am wrong!) so very little about me is known but I am going to tell you something... I love running! Some of you (like many of my friends, unfortunately for me.) are probably thinking at this point "well she is a right plonker"... but that is fine! I was exactly like you this time six months ago, but then it hit like a ball hits a bat, I want to start something sporty. You may or may not experience this in your life at some point, but for me it was February, when for some reason I was eating chocolate on my own and it was a lovely day. I decided to get on my running shoes and give it a go. Now don't get me wrong, I was in no way what so ever a running superstar and I am still not today because my back ached, my calfes were ready to give up on me and my throat was as dry as a desert. Although this probably sounds as though I have spent to weeks in a survival camp, one thing overwhelmed all the pain; the great positive feeling. This is because of the endorphins that are released when you run (according to a friend of mine... er Steve) and also the fact that running gives you time to really think about things. MADE UP FACT TIME: over 70% of people say they are never angry after a run. Yes this fact may not be true but is not far off the mark as far as a prediction goes. Running is very important to me as I am always saying that I want to this sport and that sport but one thing I do know, is that I do this sport and no one can take it away from me.
If you are utterly inspired by my conquering of running, you must try it but you need to take some things into consideration:
- Your Medical Record, you need to make sure you have no serious heart problems or serious tissue or ligament damage. 
- If you are asthmatic,  make sure you have your inhaler (I suggest getting a bum bag/fanny pack to keep it in, don't worry if you think they are man's worst creation, there are countless ways to customise it- hey maybe I will show you how some day!)
- Your mental capabilities, this is very important because like I said earlier about the fact you think a lot during running, you don't want to think too hard!
- Your gear (that's fitness gear), this is important because if you are running in gym trainers or squash/tennis trainers you are not getting the right support for feet, so you are at a high risk of injury. Other than that, you can run in virtually anything (apart from just your undies.) but if you want to be all flash then I suggest brands such as Karrimor, Nike and Adidas and retailers such as Sports Direct, Pro Direct Running or Decathlon.
- Finally your breathing techniques, this sort of links in with my first point but I suggest that you use the 'in through your nose and out through your mouth'. I use this and it helps you to not only last longer if you are on a long distance run, it also helps you to concentrate on something.

I do hope that you are going to go out for run after reading this evelings, if you are then I wish you the best of luck and if you aren't then I think you need a little bit more motivation!
