Don't know what happened but I have missed a whole week of blogging! So, last week I lost 2.8lbs - very chuffed! I also completed the C25K challenge - very chuffed!
This week I lost 1lb - can't complain!
Since finishing the C25K challenge I have kept up my three times a week running schedule. The first day I had to do the "30min" run session and decided to do this all week. At the end of this session when the man says "cooldown" I decided to go for it anyway and carry on running an extra 5mins! Hehe, when he said workout complete I then went back and did the cooldown walk, so I was really pleased with myself there and did the 35mins on both other runs too... next week to push it a bit more :-)
On top of all that running I have maintained 5 days a week with the lovely Jillian Michaels, and only have 2 days left of her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD. Will move straight onto the next one after that.
Anyway - last night I took part in the Starlight Walk 2011. It was a 13 mile route around the streets, starting at Midnight. Around 1,300 took part. I completed it in 3 hours and 30mins, which I was very happy with! I did it in memory of my Grandad, who died at the Peace Hospice which is the charity we walked for. Managed to raise £110 so far, and along the way I earned myself 18 activity points! During the walk, which I did with a friend from my old work and her mum we walked really fast and I have never walked so fast for so long in my life. I was really proud of myself. Unfortunately I have had a niggling pain & swelling in my right foot since Wednesday so was a bit worried about doing the walk altogether! But it was all really good and my foot went numb so I could just get on with it!
Now, only 5 days to go until my Mum gets home and I have reached all of the targets I had set myself to meet before I see her! I wanted 3 stone gone, to be in the 13's and to be in the single digit lbs of the 13's when she got back. So yay! 13st 8.4lbs I stand.
7 Days to go until my next physical challenge - The Race For Life. Ah compared to yesterday this should be a doddle - I actually walked the distance of the Race For Life x 4 last night. However, I am going to be running this one!!!! All of my C25K sessions and extra runs... this is what it is going to come down to! Watch this space!
Anyway, I got my phone upgraded today, which is also very exciting, so I am now going to stop rambling on and go and play with it!
Thanks for reading :o)
