I ran my first 5k since summer’s heel injury and I feel great! Tired, but in a wonderful way. I had the day off today before heading back to London this evening – it’s been such a nice weekend being with my mum and sister (and today my nephew). I’m even more excited for Christmas now.
After the last most of no training, it’s time to get back into good habits, with helpful reminder PostIts on my Mac at work! 25km cycled today and an exercise class, let’s do this!
Back to work today, but it’s a very short work so should fly by 🙂 lovely!
The days are getting longer, which means my runs are getting prettier! Lovely pink sunrise.
I know, I’m a talented photographer! (Or stupid..) but anyhow, here’s a photo of Claire and I mid cycle! We ended up doing 15km which is quite good going for under an hour! Great excessive and great catch up, loved it.
Still not completely better, but nothing a hot chocolate can’t help with to keep me going in work! My life’s been put on hold while I recover, as I’m fed up of not being in full health!
Went on a 6am run this morning to be greeted with this view! Thanks to the clocks going back I get to run in the light for a bit, woo!
I’m pretty sure I’ve done this title before.. anyway, yes, I’m ill. Turns out I did call it yesterday and woke up today feeling rubbish, and was in bed all day being looked after by the lovely Sue! This was the only photo I took, when I remembered I needed one for my blog.
I’ve been craving fast food all day, but haven’t had an appetite weird I know. Can you guess why I’ve been craving it? Awesome PJ’s.
Today felt very slow, I’ve been feeling ill all day. As shown by my sad pear photo that I took to send to my sister and mum to make them laugh, they did, so I followed up with a happier pear.
I’m now on week 9 of couch to 5k! The end is in sight, only 2 more runs to go!
I went for a run today at 6:15am, me! Of all people, you’d least expect. I’m enjoying this running malark. After that it was another normal day at the office (heh, I can say that now). With a quick tube ride at lunchtime to Strand to get a refund from Pizza Hut who charged me TWICE on Saturday! Grrr. Should get some free pizza from it though!
Photo is of my leg in the tube station while waiting for my train. Winter coat is on!
Sunday’s are fast becoming my running and relaxing day recently whilst I’m in London (aka, when I’m not on the road). Today I ran 4km in one go in 25 minutes! Now that may not seem much to a lot of people, but it’s a huge deal for me. I’ve never ‘been a runner’ but I’ve just finished week 7 of NHS Couch to 5k and feel amazing about it! I’ve slimmed down, and really feeling like I’ve accomplished something! Only 2 more weeks on this program and I should be running kilometres in 30 minutes! I’m on track to my main goal, running a marathon before I’m 25.
(By the way, apologies for the shoddy photo, I need to start paying more attention to photos after my runs!)
