  • Well done everyone, nice to see the gang back together again. YP1 I missed completely that you were going away!!! I missed you, even though I hate you little miss size 16!!!

    And frus, I forgot momentarily about the move etc.

    I had a good day again, arm weights this morning, swim, and at lunch lots of abs and a bit of eliptical at the works gym. I am going to lose this week I am I am I am!!!
  • Only did 30mins tonight the sun is streaming through the skylights at this time of night and i'm sweaty even with the patio door open I know i'm making excuses but i'm hungry too and want mi tea
  • 10k training starts here. I didn't run yesterday after Race for Life, and considered having another rest day today after my exertions. Particularly as I was really tired this morning and only dragged myself out of bed half an hour later than normal. But when I got to the gym I really fancied a stint on the treadmill (!!! ), so set it for a relatively gentle jog (the same pace that I would have considered a killer running pace a couple of months ago, by the way), and ended up doing 6k before running out of time.

    It's true. I enjoy running
  • I'vew been busy today, leg weights this morning (I love doing them!) and then a swim. I swim 32 laps in 30 minutes now, compared to 12 at the beginning of the year. At lunch the gym instructor at work taught me a heap of new fit ball exercises, the are soooooooo fun!!! I love fit ball, it feels too fun to be good for you!!!
  • Ran 1 mile to warm up. Then 15 minutes on the rower, 15 minutes walking up hard hills on the treadmill (level 20! out of 20!), a bit of stuff on the fit ball and then a 30 minute swim. This afternoon I'll probably walk a couple of miles too. Not too much running today. I really need new trainers as the ones I have have started rubbing my toes. Maybe that's my job to do on the way to the pub this afternoon?
  • May definitely need new trainers. I appear to have left the old ones at the gym. Will have to pop in on the way past to see if they're still there
  • Oh no!!!! Crisis!!!! I have two pairs of trainers, but I really need some better ones, maybe next month. I hate buying shoes.
  • Didn't do anything since Wednesday as I was feeling a bit low and just wanted to curl up in bed with a good book. However, I managed a 55 minute walk today and the weather is so lovely I can't help but feel better.
  • Well done miranoron I hate going out in summer so I've had no walking recently I must drag myself out.
  • I went to the gym today and did 60 minutes cardio. I hate going out in summer too, but I did today, wearing a sleeveless top for the first time in public in years!!!
  • I now have two pairs of trainers. The new ones and the old ones that I recovered from the gym changing room. I will see if the new ones don't rub my toes as much.
  • 1 hour 45 mins cycle ride today - boy I'm saddle sore now

    I made my challenge target!

  • It was boiling this afternoon so my walk only lasted 30 minutes today. I also lifted weights for about 20 minutes.
  • I had a very slow hour walk with lots of sitting down so probably only 30 mins actual walking. The heat!
