Week 3 Day 1 A pretty lazy day. I was planning on running in the evening and then remembered that I was meant to be leading the group. So I didn't run at all. No cross training either but I did drink all of my water. Goal 1: 7/12 runs complete Goal 2: 4/6 cross training sessions complete Goal 3: 13/21 water consumed

Week 2 Days 6 & 7 I have to confess to nothing over these two days exercise wise. Friday was spent working. Saturday, I went away overnight to meet up with some of my husband's old school friends. We went to lots of bars so I managed to drink lots of water! Goal 1: 7/8 runs complete Goal 2: 4/4 cross training sessions complete Goal 3: 12/14 water consumed Week 2: 23/26 Not too bad, could've been worse!

Ha ha. I think that if you are here you are pretty fabulous.

Are you still on the date?

Oh dear, never mind. Did you enjoy the acroyoga before you injured yourself?

Week 2 Day 5 I woke up and headed out for my ten miler. I took a new route that I'd previously avoided as its all hills. Except when I ran it it wasn't that bad at all. Quite undulating but nothing too steep, I will definitely go that way again. I got on well listening to a comedy podcast instead of music, although I think I looked slightly deranged running through the countryside laughing. My pace was slower than usual. I'm a bit of a one (slow) speed person. I run about 10 min/miles whatever I am doing so I have been trying to work on that. I used a pace calcul

Awesome week! I'm looking forward to Stranger Things, I'm just catching up on Outcast and Preacher at the moment. I'm still not sure about either of them at the moment.

Don't worry about the doughnuts. I think the point of these challenges is to focus on the small changes so that they become the norm. Every time you do a new challenge you will carry the good habits over from the last one.

Fingers crossed for your knees. Hopefully keeping to the flat will sort them out.

Change in routine is so hard! Well done for not giving up!

I think a bit of self awareness can be truly enlightening and not a bad thing at all. Well done.

Five minutes away from an 8 mile run is fairly decent for a "bad run" Fingers crossed you get back on track on Friday.

Thank you. Maybe they'll promote me to queen of the board. Week 2 Day 4 Today should've been a cross training day so I went to a Pilates class again. I wasn't intending to make Pilates my cross training session of choice but I have really gone off lifting. They've refitted our gym and the free weights area is a bit cramped. They have so much cardio equipment in there that the people who lift are struggling. Such a shame. I managed a 2.5 miles run with my running group last night. It was very slow though as I ran with an older lady who hasn't been running lo

Week 2 Day 3 It's really quiet on these boards but I will keep on posting regardless, like some sort of loon. I worked in the morning and after lunch took my youngest swimming. I'm not a big fan of swimming but did swim 600m. The pool is only 20m long and was quite busy. I alternated between a fast (for me) length and a slow length. The little man only swam 100m and spent the rest of the time doing handstands, somersaults and balancing on floats. I didn't actually hate the swimming as much as I usually do but I forgot

Oh man! 44 push-ups today then!
