This mornings run

The run this morning was a bit slow to start with up until about half way when I was nearly at a standstill, but then I got a second wind, and when my time was up I felt like I could have kept running. Each run is getting easier and easier. I am not used to running in the morning though, as I normally only do it in the weekends, my runs have mostly been at night before dinner once my husband is home from work.

Another hard run

I woke up so stiff and sore this morning and I nearly didn't go for a run, but I made myself do it. I am also so tired, the fireworks around our neighbourhood at midnight, made it hard to sleep :(
30 mins on the M7 cycle path, as its a bit up and down, only did 3.64 km, but I really struggled today. My hips especially, are sooo sore :( They haven't been sore in a while, it was something that happened while I was pregnant and for only a little while after, so its weird they are so now.
Tomorrow will be my longest non-stop run yet (40 mins) with 10 mins walk either side. I will be trying my best not to walk. Not sure where I am going to run though.

Hard run

Todays run was hard. I went first thing, as today is going to be a hot day. It was a 30 min run, but only managed 3.79 km I have been faster.
My legs are aching from the huge increase in my pump weights. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow. Actually my arms are sooooo sore too.
Tomorrow is a 30 min hill run, and 6 x strides. Sunday is 10 min walk, 40 min run, 10 min walk and 4 x strides. Its going to be a hard workout that's for sure.
Need to make sure I am posting my food diary here too. Next meeting is not till next Sat, hoping for a good loss :)

A gain

OK so I gained 700g. But I am not overly upset about it, because I know it wasn't because I over ate or anything like that. I did increase my exercise, although I think I earned maybe 6 or so more bonus points than usual, so its probably not that either. I just have to remember its not a week to week thing, its a big picture that adds up as you go along. I know I can't have a loss each week, I just have to keep doing what I am doing and it will all catch up.
So the officially being in the 80's is another week away at least. I have also removed the batteries from the home scales and put them away. I really need to get out of the habit of daily weighing, as I was starting to get obsessed with them , I really don't want to get into that again, so NO MORE daily weigh-ins. Only meeting weigh ins. I am still undecided on a regular meeting, but am thinking the safest is an 8am Saturday meeting, as it means if we have something on that day I can still go. Its just finding that leader I click with, but maybe that won't happen and I need to just choose a meeting and stick to it. I hate changing all the time.
So for next week I will go on Saturday.

Woo

Pump kicked my butt today, I upped all my weights and really had to push to get through the tracks. Limbs are still slightly shakey now and the class finished an hour ago LOL.
30 min run tomorrow, might just do my 5km route and see what time I can do it in, even if longer than 30 mins. If I keep up yesterdays pace ill do it 37-38 mins. Ill be stoked if I can.
I ran into one of the leaders from my close WW meeting at the supermarket, it was very random, as id been worried about whether tonights meeting was on, I really want to go. And its on! Usual leader not there, but I don't mind, I just need a meeting. I am still undecided on a regular meeting though. I just can't decide. I want to pick one and stay with it, there are many I can choose from though, so will still think about it. Hopefully tonight will officially put me into the 80s, but who knows, I have had a couple of "moments" in the last few days, but earnt 24 exercise points, so it should be OK. Only need to lose 400g to get into the 80s, but I really am just not sure. Home scales will be hidden and I won't be weighing daily now, its just not good for your mindset at all.
