(Training distance so far - 4.6miles)
The beauty of writing a blog is that you can specify the time at which it gets published; no doubt to throw bosses off the scent of people who write posts during office hours (I would never ever EVER do that Mr. Bossman....honest!). I have timed this one for publishing at exactly 16:12....as this is now my weight!
Slightly perturbed by the 5 pound loss (previous 17 stone 3 pounds) as it does seem to be quite a lot. Don't think I've done anything to cause such a dramatic change. I've settled back into a good diet after the excesses of the festive season (naughty Christmas, BAD Christmas....go to your room!!) without much of a problem. It's the exercise that has been the big contributor this time isn't it? Badminton match on Thursday, 5km run on Saturday, then a cheeky mile and a half last night. I also weighed in straight after I got home from last nights run, which is likely to make my weight extra-low. Do you think I analyse things a little too much? I'll try again......hey guys.....I lost weight!!........yay!! (Any better?) The great thing is that if I keep going in this vein for the coming week I will be back to - or hopefully below - my pre-Christmas weight..........
The run last night was great. Could I just say for the record that a 400m athletics track looks a lot smaller when you are watching it on the telly, and buff athletes are careering around it, than when you are on it (the closest thing to buff I will ever be is quite enjoying that vampire slayer person). It's huge (not the vampire slayer, the athletics track, although Buffy was a pretty good prog.......ok, stop now)! I was told I only had half an hour before the 'Bolton Harriers' came on at half six. Didn't have as much time on-track as I would have liked, but the receptionist gave me a free pass for next time (a simple act of kindness, she didn't have to do it but really nice of her) so I'll definitely be going back. There is certainly something quite meditative in doing track circuits. Meditative and.......what's the word?....... ......ummm.........oh yes...............exhausting!
Any road up; we are on our way again people. Weight going in the right direction, and running like a runny thing in runland (that sentence kind of got away from me a bit, but what the hell). Two nights off, then a badders match on Friday followed by the Heaton Park run Saturday morning.....I think this one might be harder as I know what to expect this time.
Anyway, back to work before someone notices what I am doing (......oops!)

Good stuff ... immensely proud of you, and well impressed. Keep it up my lovely, and I look forward to hearing how Saturday's run goes ... be kind to yourself :-)

It will be less is more this Saturday. Am more concerned with running slower, for longer, without stopping. SO, the strategy is to position myself towards the back of the field and just 'plod'. If I can make it to say 3km without stopping then I will be a happy bunny. The good thing about the 5k at Heaton Park is that finishing that in one hit will mean I can do a lot more than 5k in a road run, as that kill is a hiller.....errr.........
