Fresh start

By the title, and the long period of time it has been since I last posted, you may well be thinking that I had given up. Well you're wrong. The fact is, that I have just left home to go to university and things have been pretty hectic. By "fresh start" I actually mean a change to the reasons why I'm running. Previously, I was running solely to lose weight and get fit (along with the fun and stress relieving side), but upon arrival at university I joined the rowing team. Those of you who know anything about rowing will be aware that it is a very demanding sport which requires a fair bit of training each week. Last week I spent a total of 5 and a half hours at the sports village, plus about 45 minutes on the water, quite a jump from the couch potato that I was just a few months ago. Its safe to say that I am totally addicted to rowing and can't wait to get better and better and enter some races.
