Running away with it

So after months and months of saying it I finally got my running shoes out! Donned in my best running gear I thought now was as good a time as any to get cracking with this running malarky having convinced my best friend that this year we should run a half marathon!
My hubs mapped out a route for me as we have only recently moved to the area, which worked out to be approx 2 miles.
Shutting the door I felt good despite the bitter wind that whipped around my bare calves. I set off.
Quarter of a mile in I was shattered!! So the rest of the mile and three quarters was spent somewhere between walking and jogging!
It's fair to say I may well need to keep these shoes out!
