.....days to go......(13 weeks!! what? can't you do your seven times tables?!!)
Passionate I may be about running, but even I am not daft enough to go out on the road in these conditions; so the treadmill beckoned for today's long run. Nine miles knocked off today, yay me!! I wouldn't say it was easy, but it never felt like I wasn't going to make it, even without the strategically placed towel to hide the km counter (doesn't make it any faster, but removes the temptation of constantly staring at the distance and willing it to speed up....... watched pot never boils........a watched mileometer (incidentally, for an equivalent gadget that measures km travelled, would that be kilometreometer?!! sounds so irish.....begorra begorra.....tbesure......tbesure......ahem.....oookayyy, digressing much....?) never reaches 9 miles.
I did sin tonight and have a Chinese. I need to be careful, as too many of them are slipping into the diet. There is a little voice which is telling me it's okay as I am now doing so much running; but if I eat sensibly as well the weight should fall off faster than a fally thing. Hopefully I'll have a careful week down in Stevenage - with a couple of runs? - and get back on track.......errr.....road.
4am start in the morning.......think of me.........!
WELCOME
Hello there everyone, and welcome to my blog (hats off to 'Blogging for Dummies' for teaching this dummy how to....you know!).
I am overweight; make that very overweight. I think the technical term is 'morbidly obese'....ouch! Over the last few years I have had a few health warning shots, enough to make me realise that although there is nothing going on with my health that can't be reversed; my time is running out to do something about it before something really bad happens.
So this is my journey to health, and the plan is an ambitious one. I want to lose weight, and I want to get fitter; fit enough to run the Manchester 10k in May of 2012, fit enough to run a half marathon towards the end of 2012, and then fit enough to run the London Marathon in 2013, where the blogging journey will end at the finish line down the Mall.
I write this in the hope that the words and thoughts of both myself and readers can inspire me when the journey gets difficult, then hopefully people can be inspired by my story; believing that the most difficult journey is possible.
I make a promise to you that I will be honest - if the wheels fall off and I have six pizzas in two days, I will come clean - and I will do my very best. Share it with me.
......Wish me luck!!
