Oh God I'm Turning Into a Slob


I feel like a fat slob. I'm doing no exercise apart from long walks and they are every 10-14 days. I swam last Friday then walked Sunday and that's it.

I'm tired and fat and know that a run will make me feel better yet I can't get my arse in gear.

All I've managed is a bit of gardening and even that is half hearted and just 30-45mins.

I form great plans but CBA. This TW training is doing me no good. The 1st walk knocked me for 6 having only just got over the shock of Reading and doing nothing is turning into a habit. It seems much better to veg in front of the TV and finish my Easter Egg.

The sad thing is I can see it happening yet can't seem to stop it! It's like my diet ... I see myself eating when I don't need to or really want to yet carry on. I feel fat, frumpy, grumpy and tired and just CBA! It's not good and doesn't feel good either.

I need a serious arse kicking [offers up humungous backside for kicking]

You sound like you're knackered, Pix. I was trying to equate TW training to M training. Do you need to do the massive, one-off walks? Or perhaps, a lot of walking, say an hour or two a day?

Food has to be sensible, that's all. Cut out any carp, comfort food and stick to good, wholesome stuff. Personally, I think if you do regular, each/every other day training, you might see more benefit? Just my humble opinion.

Now get off your arse!

:o))

To add to what Ms Womble says...

Food.. check [tick]
Tiredness.. check [tick]

One thought though...?

What would you be like if you couldn't do any exercise...? Like, really couldn't do it. Like Womble says... regular and just enough. Rather than sporadic and too much (which is exactly what my problem is - do too much and get injured or tired too quickly)

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
