The pain barrier

Yesterdays intended training went out of the window. Paul tried to go to work but turned up at home a couple of hours later as the motorway was gridlock and he couldn't get anywhere. We ended up going out for lunch - a very health Toby Carvery though. It tasted a lot better than it looked, but it puts me off a bit sitting among all the people with no teeth in.
Today was so much better though! I did my first 10 minute non-stop run. I know it doesn't sound much but it wasn't half hard. It is true that if you just keep pushing yourself you can do a bit more though. I was a bit red in the face after and gasping so much I think the gym had the emergency services on standby. I kept on the treadmill and did 30 minutes altogether, with another 2 runs of about 4 minutes each. I was surprised that after all this I'd only covered 3.4kms - very very slightly more than Sunday. I did have to have a big rest by walking slow after each run though! I came out feeling very chuft with myself.
Half way through I was rudely interupted by Channel M who were doing a live broadcast. I was horrified. I don't believe in doing my hair before I go to the gym as it will get done when I have a shower afterwards. I was therefore panting, flushed to say the least, very 'glowy' and my hair was everywhere. As if I was going to get filmed like that! I'm sure they managed to find someone to go on camera as a lot of ladies (and gents) of leisure seemed to be around. They obviously didn't have what it takes to be first choice.
The rest of the week might get jiggled around a bit. I'm passing the gym tomorrow so it makes sense to go in. I also anticipate being a bit slower than normal on Sunday morning, so I might bring forward the big run day to Saturday then I can just have a bit of a swim/sauna if necessary on Sunday.
I'd better get back to work or I definately won't get my job! A new tv career might be the answer :)
