so i have decided in the run up up to Christmas (17 days if you're counting) i will not have a pudding and will cut down the size of the portions I'm having, a smaller plate was recommended which is a good idea us men wouldn't think of!!
I've been running this morning and it felt great, the weather was chilly but dry, the ground was firm but not too icy and there weren't many people about, i saw a huge buzzard sat in the sun on a fence but i scared him off with my coughing and spluttering as I dug deep to pound out 3.6 miles, CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY EFFORTS its always nice to see the sun and a great sunrise it was too but i also saw the moon, when i was young a long long time ago, i thought the moon only came out at night, i like seeing it during the day.
My average pace seems to be around 9.4 minutes a mile, id like to think i can run faster than that but i suppose keeping it up for 10k or 12.1 miles is the main feat of achievement, the pace feels steady, I'm still carrying too much weight so maybe by the the time March comes around and i start my 10k races in High Legh and Lymm I will be lower in weight and speed might improve, wondering what i should aim for time wise for the 10k, 59mins and 59 seconds as a start point???
Ive recently joined a facebook group called run for fun, and run for fun they certainly do, so much encouragement and praise its a really good group to be in, if you take up running even if its just to do a little exercise, id recommend popping on to facebook and giving them a hello as they'd certainly give you the bug to get out there and enjoy it.
they also have a 14 day core challenge which im going to attempt, who knows i may be posting pictures of 6 pack soon enough.
