Last Week: w/c 1st June
June 8, 2009Monday: Thinking one rest day after that 16k hill run last week was enough was obviously a mistake. The 10k I did with Ally was good but my legs were still aching so I decided to take Monday off as well. Being back in Shelton I decided to go to the gym and do an upper body weights session – which ended up quite short due to the sheer number of people in there, the heat, and me getting bored easily when I do weights :-) By the time I had showered and changed I wasn’t feeling well and as you know from Friday’s post it all went downhill from there.
Tuesday: Still ill but felt good enough in the afternoon for a stroll around the barefoot trail in Trentham as per last Wednesday’s post.
The rest of the week was spent indoors not doing a whole lot. I know I have to be patient but I really want to go out for a run or a cycle – anything. There’s only so much of this staying couped up inside that I can do!
Total Run: 0km
I know I haven’t mentioned my progress on my goal to shift some weight of late. Being ill meant that I lost a fair amount in a very short period of time but I don’t think it counts! I’ve been trying to keep my calorie intake up during the week but it’ll probably be a fortnight or so before I can give you a proper idea of how I’m doing.
A reminder to anyone out there that runs/jogs/cycles alone, ID can be essential in the case of an accident. Buy a RoadID (I have one) by clicking on the button in the right hand column and 10% of the sale price will go towards my sponsorship goal.
The RoadID is a very useful tag, it has been used or versions like it for people who are lone workers. Nice blog, as always.
Thanks Mark. If you know anyone that might want one feel free to direct them here. 10% goes to charity!
You know, that RoadID seems like a very sensible investment!
I’m gonna get one!
Good plan :-)
