So my 106km challenge is getting closer, in fact it’s only 41 days away. This is how the route looks so far: The blue marks are major check points where I can get hot food if I want, there will also be minor check points between this for snacks. I am aiming to run from…
So where have I been?
I have not been on here for probably over a month now. I had issues with my host/server, worked a lot and needed to do uni work. Something happened over Feb/Mar. I started to get better at running (treadmill, not outside) and I started to lose weight again! On 2nd Feb 2015 I weighed 195.5…
New gym
So I joined the other gym today. Very quiet at 8am which is good. Not a lot of cardiovascular equipment but enough for me, today I just stuck to the treadmill. I was there for around 48 min and did around 4k, it was just a warm up to see how things are. The treadmills …
Today’s session
Barbell squats: 1 set of 10 without weight then 4 sets of 10 with 5kg each side. I am terrible at squats, I can’t keep my chest up or back straight and my knees tend to go inwards. Today was better but I’m now finding that my upper arms (bicep/deltoid) are really stiff and that…
A 5k run
I am really pushing myself with my running, I just have to push myself to get out and run! This is my fastest 5k to date, I know not fast compared to most people but I’m pleased with it. It was a wet & cold run and I tried to run most of the whole…
Working out
I am such a loser at all this workout stuff. I have only been to the gym once this week and I haven’t run at all 🙁 Friday I was meant to do both but Kieth was up all night being sick, it was raining hard when I got up so couldn’t run and I…
I think I’m slowly getting there.
So I am down 1kg this week, which is a lot for me. I’m logging everything I eat and staying under calories. With my new phone (Samsung Note 4) both my tracking apps work now – mfp & fitbit so it’s so much easier to log and check throughout the day. My 3rd gym session…
2015 races
So I have yet to do even a 5k race but I have signed up for the following races this year: Isle of Wright Challenge (106km) – 2/3 May In memory of my brother in law John & a family friend who sadly just passed away Fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support The Battle of Britain…
A return to the gym
So this morning was my first day back at the gym, I hadn’t been since 3rd December 🙁 They have new PB boards and 2 different warm up plans, that we do each time we go. I did a modified version of on of them. As I hadn’t been for so long I had a…
A new year
So last night was a quiet night in our fav pub. Most of the regulars we know off weren’t around but a few were. Also a few known patrons know to others but we hadn’t seen them before, maybe they used to be regulars and now seem to appear when we aren’t there lol It…
