I have had 2 rest days as the programme said I should. I'm glad it did as I've been a bit busy. I was out of the house at 6.30am on Friday, got home in time to grab a quick bar of chocolate for tea (energy?), then out to the cinema to watch It's Complicated. It was very funny. Yesterday John was 75, so it was a party there in the afternoon. We are having to have afternoon parties now so we can have a nap afterwards, especially if the wine has been opened! There was total garbage on tv last night so I resorted to All Star Mr and Mrs and an early night.
Harrison and I go to the gym on a Sunday morning so I did my bit, which was an increase to 15 minutes, this time doing more running than walking. I did 11 running to 4 walking. I'm already getting a bit scared as in 2 weeks I have to try to do 15 minutes with as much running as I can. I tried the cross-trainer after that but didn't feel like it was as good as the bike.
I've also had to make an impromptu visit to Halfords. I was leaning over in the car and caught the rear view mirror, and it came off. It was surprising how fast I got used to using the side mirrors, and I think I might trust Paul more with his now (his van has no back window so therefore no mirror). Halfords had 'rear view mirror bonder' which amazed me. It meant that I didn't have to feel too bad as other people must do the smae regularly, and I didn't have to resort to double sided sticky tape.
This week looks like I have done loads less, but I have done what I'm supposed to, to the letter. The run is 16 weeks today and I can already run for half a km! Only 9 1/2 to go....
Week 2:
Run/walk 4.2kms (35 minutes)
Cycle: 14.7kms (40 mins)
Cross trainer: 15 minutes, and I think it was faulty as it said less than a km.
Swimming: Nil
Loving the blog! Keep with the training programme and you'll be fine. Trust them! Your comment about parties in the afternoon is so true.
ReplyDeleteVery proud of you, going to sponsor you soon. xx
Great stuff, keep it up! I'm sure the build up is the way to do it. Will keep posted on the blog- which is soooo new to me.
