Day 2!

Morning! Yes it's 2nd Jan already! Where does the year go!! hehe

Anyway I have an extra task for this year that I forgot to mention yesterday, and that is to complete my training log regardless as to how pathetic it looks! I've missed about 3-4mths on my Fetch one for 2005 due to injury etc and stopped using the David Hays excel one too so I don't have a very good or clear idea as to what I did last year! So this year it will be done!

My main aim is to lose weight hence the link below each post! I want to track my calorie intake and this free tool looks good only I haven't actually used it in anger yet! But the calorie usage is good as that makes me feel better when I've done hardly anything!

I'm going to be much more aware of what I eat and aim to eat less (haha). Thought I would start the new year with a formal weigh in yesterday and the result was .... 10st 13lb or 11st 6lb or 11st 4lb or indeed just 6lb! I think 11st4lb is about right! Will be buying new scales this week!

One thing I have done on and off these last few weeks is listen to a Paul McKenna CD which is called "I can make you thin" which is good but you need to listen to it consistently! (Ask Nessie! Mr Nessie and her have lost weight using it.) Sky One has a new 6 weeks series by him on weight lose starting next Monday at 9pm so I will record/watch that too!

Oh and discovered yesterday one of the reason for getting sores after a run .... my chest strap on my HRM (which was a new replacement April time) is broken! Grrrrr. So will be calling the shop (down in Berkshire!) tomorrow for a moan!

PS does anyone know what this is??? I want to move it if I can so I can make a path there to a water butt (all great plans hey!)

Damn you are good Beanz! That was one of the BBC options but I thought I would ask you clever lot!
So I can move it can I? Looks like I have 3 of them!

Ten Week Training Block

Monday is the start of a new 10 week training block. Well Ok it's the start of my second round of The Six Pack Revolution this time I am doing the sculpt program. I did Signature in May and did really well. Lost 21lbs and rediscovered my love of running lots (rather than just running!) which has meant that I have had a great, extended, training block for my race next weekend. Problem was that at the end of the 10 weeks I slowly but surely reverted to a lot of my old habits and as such have regained 4-5lbs. Luckily my running has kept it to just 4-5lbs - I know if I hadn't been doing so many miles then it would have been more. So next week I start again, and I am trying a different mindset. Instead of seeing it as a 10 week program I am thinking of it as a 10 week training block. The say Winter miles make for Summer smiles but also the winter is a time for more indoor training! When most runners hide away a bit but do more of the stuff we should do all year as we then have an ex...

Sensible Head

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 (...

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...
