Renewed motivation?
Well maybe LOL
I did pump this morning, and it kicked my ass.
Then I decided I would run the Olympic park track for Sundays Resolution Run. I started towards the end (well where it will end on Sunday) and it was hilly! I walked my warm up then ran maybe a km before it got too hard on my poor legs from pump. So walked some more, then my sister rang, so spoke to her while I walked fast. After 3km is when I started running again, so then ran 2.5 km, which was much easier than the first half. I am looking forward to doing the race on Sunday. Todays time with all the walking was 52.52. I lost all the data off my Garmin while trying to load todays run :( But with the 3km walking first, I am estimating about 7 m 30 s kms for my runs which is OK. I am so bummed I wiped the data from my watch :(
Hoping for 40 mins or less on Sunday, which is possible if I don't walk. Will see, those hills are going to really slow me down. So need to run the first few kms at about 7 mins, maybe first 3 km. The hills are probably after this point, then last 1/2 km is flat, so can make up some time there. Not expecting to get a place LOL, but will be happy if I don't walk. Saturday is a rest day!
Tomorrow I may run 5km and do pump, or ill just run and do both on Friday.

Pump done
And it kicked my ass! My limbs are still shaking.
I am going to walk the resolution run track this afternoon (or possibly run it, depending on how I feel) I am feeling lazy since I didn't run yesterday.
Sat this week will have to be a rest day since I am doing the Resolution run 5.5 km.
So will do pump again tomorrow (or Friday night am undecided yet) but need to get in 2 more runs this week before Sunday.

Argh
Lacking motivation at the moment :(
Wish I knew how to get it back.
I guessing having to take antibiotics for a UTI doesn't help.

A change
OK so I am going to follow the simply filling technique for a while. Which is basically a list of healthy filling foods, that you can eat until you are satisfied and not have to count points (unless its something not off the list, then it comes from the weekly 49) so bread I have to count, but I don't eat a lot of it anyway. It is like the old core plan which I loved.

Argh
How frustrating! The gym creche was closed! I only rang yesterday to book our oldest in, as he wanted to play with the other kids. His dad is home on holidays, but I figured I may as well take him. When I spoke to the person yesterday she took all the details and wrote them down, no bloody idea where she wrote them! So I had to bring our son home and miss my class :( And there isn't one tonight so I have to swap tomorrows 25 min run to today and do a pump class at 5.30pm tomorrow. So annoying!
