So, I've just done my first proper run. Feeling rather good and fancy rambling a bit
I've never really took any sort of training seriously but have wanted to start running since a ski-touring trip in Germany where I found my fitness seriously lacking. But lack of motivation prevailed and nothing happened.
At Cliffhanger at the weekend, I popped into ratrace on a whim and bought some new shoes (Inov8s FL230s) as they were the only ones that fitted me well in my size. Heres the first question, they're relatively comfortable stood around, but not completely fitting like a glove, but running, wow they're awesome. Didn't even feel like I was wearing anything. Never once slipped for grip or felt jarred or rubbing or anything. Is this normal?
So tonight I've been up to Redmires resovoir to run around it. Boy it was fun, I struggled to pace myself properly I think, but the run was nice having everything from tarmac to gravel to grass to knee deep mud (I went slightly off the planned route).
Heres my route and times, any input? I don't really understand anything yet, or how I did,but willing to listen to anything anyones got to say.

Finally theres a bit of aching in my left ham string/achilles, but not painful. Is this just from sudden use? A problem with my technique? Something else?
So yeah...I loved it. Ramble over.
