Today I went for my second pre-training session. I took a shorter route than Thursday, on account of the feeling in my legs (not painful, but I could still feel that I'd been out on Thursday), and the fact that this was a non-stop route, rather than to uni and back with a stop in the middle. I was also worried about not being able to start training proper next week if my legs were hurting too much! Once again I was battling a little against the heart monitor, which kept telling me my heart rate was too high (just to prove I really am unfit), even on the flat stretches, but then complained that it wasn't high enough as soon as I started going downhill! It's all a bit unfair, but I'm sure I'll pick up a few good breathing techniques to help me....

The sponsorship form is now online, and I was pleased yesterday to receive my first donation from my friend Kim! That takes me to £10, and it seems a long way to £100, but I'm sure we'll get there in the end.
