Went for a run on Saturday after feeling guilty for not going and it felt fantastic. Best fun I've had on a run. No idea why but it was just great and felt brilliant after, all ready for work yesterday.
Today had to push myself for day2 of week 6. But hit a massive mile stone as far as I'm concerned. 3 miles. Great feeling to hit it. Next run is for 23 minutes which will be Thursday. Bit apprehensive but excited!
How do, not been on for a while and truthfully I've not been on a run for a while either.
I managed the 20 minutes run but that was 2 weeks ago now. I've not been since because following the arrival of little Temperence I've just been too exhausted.
I have had a lovely 4 weeks off from work and am sadley going back on Sunday. Gonna miss being with my family everyday.
Anyway wanted to show you the new addition and the scenic area that I'm lucky enough to run in.
Oh and I will get back to it!
Just been put for a run and felt good doing it, it consisted of 5minute warm up, 8minute run, 5minute walk, 8minute run and 5 minute warm down. Managed to push myself on the last 60seconds of the last run and felt really proud for it.
Also clocked my fastest mile at 11miutes 16. Might not sound great to pros but to me, well I'm chuffed to say the least!
2 days off now before the dreaded 20minute run. My sister is doing hers tomorrow so can't wait to hear from her.
Bye for now!
As suspected ans feared I have got up, but thankfully not as much as I thought it would be.
Today's weight : 15st 2.6lbs do a gain on 1.8lbs
Long lost measurements:
Waist 105cm
Chest 105cm
Neck 38cm
Calves 41cm
Thighs 62cm
All in all I'm happy :-)
Great run today. Day 1 of week 5, reaaly felt good during it though I have to admit I am a bit apprehensive about day 3. Today was 5min warm up, 5min run, 3min walk, 5 min run, 3 min walk 5 min run, 5min warm down. Day 3 is 5 min warm up, 20 min run, 5 min warm down. Seems a massive step up. Still got day 2 to do first. Wish me luck!
The last week following the arrival of Temperance (my daughter) last monday, sleep has been a scarce thing. Because of this I've been a bit low of mood and needed a boost from time to time. Now instead of being sensible about this I've just lived on chocolate to try and lift me. Never good because 1) it doesn't work! You just end up feeling fatter; and 2) you gain weight, which come weigh in (tomorrow) you feel worse.
So plan of action: weigh in tomorrow with a clean sheet and line drawn under the past week (fitness wise) and start a diet either weight watchers or slimming world which I will look into tonight.
So safe to say I'm not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow (am I ever!) Will have a decision about diet plan too :-)
I went for my gait test and it turns out I land on the outer aspect of my heel then role my foot. The video didn't make my ankles look to healthy!
So new £95 running shoes later and I should be back on track. First run today and boy did my calves feel it. 3 runs at week 4 down but I'm thinking best do 1 maybe 2 more before week 5.
I need to measure myself but I've lost 3lbs this week which is a massive bonus ontop if everything else that's been going on :-) so I'm now 15st 0.8lbs
We've had a new addition to the family, Temperance Esmee Everall, a little girl born on Monday. This means however that due to Daddy duties I've not been running since Sunday :-( but who can complain I have a beautiful family.
On another note tomorrow before picking my son up from nursery I'm going for a gait assessment and hopefully some new trainers, good times.
