They advise warming up for a reason....


So my first run went well  (all ten mins of it) and I was all geared up for my next run.... until I woke up the following morning. Getting out of bed wasn't an issue it was more the need to walk that I struggled with. Me and my shins normally have a good relationship, they do what they're meant to and I get on with my life. But apparently they don't like me running!



Now there is every chance this could be down to any lack of warm up. Anyone who knows me knows that exercise and Ali are not two words you generally find in the same sentence. In fact I have memories of having to 'play' football at school in mid Jan, being in a coat, hat, scarf and gloves, being shouted at my by teacher that I had to actually move for him to pass me! So any kind exercise knowledge, liking warming up, has sadly been lost or stored very deep down in the old Cole memory banks.

Today was the day of my running take 2, all went well, sadly it wasn't till getting back from my second run and collapsing in a heap that I realised the little gem from above, that warming up first would be a good idea.....

Not sure what tomorrow will bring but I can imagine some more hobbling and more evil stares from the woman and their pushchairs that I keep stealing lift spaces from!!
