Back on track

I am back to my running an training. I lost 1.2kg last week and did lots of training. My first run is only 2 weeks away- a 10km run, so i have to keep on training

end of feb, back up and running

the ankle injury i got a few weeks back is healed, my elbow is much better. my 'fat' work skirts (ykwim, those ones you wear when you are feeling fat) dont fit me anymore. something has to be done. yesterday i wathed my diet carefully, trained 2 x 1 hr blocks. today i ran 1 hr. back to doing it.

A Slight Problem

A small hiccup in the journey. Yesterday I stepped off the kerb and sprained my ankle and am now on crutches. This means that I wont be able to run for a couple of weeks at least.

I have signed up to do the following runs:
-7 March IWD 5km - WONT BE DOING THIS!
-21 March Twilight Run 10km - possibly but fitness will be an issue
-28 March Rotary Fun Run 11km - again, maybe but this is a tough run with lots of hills so we'll see
-TBA Tunnel Run 10km- not sure when this is, it depends on the opening of the Clem tunnel, but if its in early March I dont think I will be doing it.

Now I have at least 2 weeks of no running. Starting physio on Tues. Doctor wants me to have a cat scan if its not getting better by mid week as he thinks I may have a hairline fracture. Hopefully he is wrong so I can get back to training.

Some statistics

- I am not a runner
- I am not athletic, never have been
- I didnt start running until I turned 50
- with a BMI of 34.1 I am obese
- I have put on 9kg since August last year

Yesterday I walked for a hour and today I ran my 3km loop again, starting to feel a bit better now, muscle memory is kicking in

Too Hot, Too Hard

Yesterday I ran 3 km for the first time in months and today I did it again. I actually managed to run all the way this time, but its still so hot at night that it makes it very hard.

165

that's how many days until I run my first marathon.
