Week 42 Weigh-in / Ten Mile Run Goal Achieved

Week 42 Weighin

Good news on the weight front!! 2.5lb loss this week means am out of 14st double figures and back into 14st single figures (and a half) which is great! Am doing some planning ahead now – next week is Head Office Party and I ain’t drinking. It’s in Nottingham anyway so am going to be pretty damned good and try to make sure nothing goes too far astray over the next week.

Not sure what I’m going to do about the running now have got the ten miles done. Am wanting to be able to do a half marathon distance by next April so maybe it’s a case of adding a mile on each month up til March? Anyway am well-chuffed with progress so might even do it quicker!!

Got up at 4:55 after ignoring the alarm clock for the first ten minutes, then got out on road. Damned GPS took ages to get it's bearing so although it say 10.37 miles above it should have been more!! The Garmin Training center record is always less when I go through railway tunnel up Ashbourne so expect a difference on the overall stats.

Any way have got ten miles done, got back a fraction after 7am but got into work for 8:15 so quick turnaround too. Also because I was only at nephew Bens at 6:45 and quite a way left to go and determined to get ten miles done I had to run a lot faster for the last bit of the run. Which was good and has made my average up to 5.8 mph which is fastest yet over distance so am quite pleased with that too!
