Day One: 1.63 km

Blog, Run, Repeat! 

The Rules: Run every day for a year.

That's pretty much it, the idea is to take the regular goal idea used in onebookaweek, constantwriting, cinematic365 and onedietamonth (my previous/current projects) and apply them to running. Something I have always wanted to do but have never enjoyed or been good at. EVER.

So with that in mind if I do a little bit every day then I'll get to a place/fitness level where I can enter and enjoy something like Round the Bays, City to Surf or the Auckland Half Marathon in 2015(?).

We'll see how far I get in a year!

Up until now I have run every couple of days as a 'warm up' and taken the kids on walk/run exercises around my block which is 1.66 Km from start to finish (or thereabouts according to the wildly varying GPS on my phone).

I purchased some decent runners, K-Swiss Blade-Light Running Shoes and have the Runtastic App for my phone and two pairs of Wireless/Bluetooth Headphones for listenting to music to.
