And on the 7th day ....

Ok so this is not quiet so earth shatteringly dramatic as the creation of the universe!

Anyway I've decided, I've made up my mind, it will be!
What you say? Oh sorry!

As I have said before I want to lose weight, I'm a diet junky, have no will power and I am currently commiting food suicide! So this is my plan.

'Tis the season to be Jolly!

That means from now until after Christmas I shall relax and enjoy without being a huge pig! No need to worry about left overs as we are away for Christmas so once I am home I have no excuses!

After that I will:

* Leave purse at home!
* Pre-pare lunch after tea ready for the next day!
* Drink more!
* Write down what I eat!
* Clean my teeth more frequently e.g. after eating anything!

Hope that helps! You may also notice that this "running" blog may also become more foody (just like Derah!) but seeing as it is all about being healthy and fueling a healthy body to run and train and get to FLM that should be OK!

If anyone cares to comment or support I'd be grateful!

I will do this! I have a sub 5hr FLM to get and need all the help I can get, apparently if I can lose 2st that will make up to 15mins difference to my time without altering my training at all! I need every bit of help I can get!

It's good for me anyway!

good plan, pix,
I too an pinning some of my hopes on a weightloss helping my running time - but 2 stone is a tad optimistic?

So lets have a good Christmas - enjoyed but not bloated (keep taking the water) and then on to the new year and new us.

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
