Run Like the Wind

So I guess you're all due an update on my training progress this week! I have been mysteriously quiet for a reason- the lack of training. So Tuesday was my designated rest day, which is all well and good. However, my old nemisis Bad Sue was back in the building and my eating went to pot as per usual. I'm going to attribute this to the excellent hospitality on offer in the board room at the football which I felt it was rude not to take advantage of ;-) So about 20 biscuits, half a box of chocolates and some chicken and chips later, Bad Sue was enjoying a bit of a sugar rush.

Unfortunately one rest day turned into two. On Wednesday I had pretty much eaten my entire lunch by mid morning (strangely enough I wasn't the only one, so we in the office blamed the sudden return of the cold snap for our increased appetites) and lunch ended up being a bag of mini eggs. Mmmm, chocolatey goodness. I skipped swimming in the afternoon because quite frankly I felt like a beached whale.

So, onto Thursday. I woke up feeling focused again and ate healthily which was good. So a minor victory to celebrate in that I only fell off the wagon for 2 days whereas that has been known to go on for weeks! Teresa and I planned to run last night but personal circumstances arose that meant that has been postponed to tonight. However, I had quite a lot of pent up energy last night so I went for a very short but pretty quick run. Was probably just under 2 miles with hills but I pushed it all the way and have genuinely never run that fast for that distance before, hooray! The running felt really good and I had a bit of fun by running like Phoebe from friends for a short while. Simple things amuse me! But if you are driving through Sudbury and see a girl in pink running and grinning like a maniac, give me a toot! You may just get a wave back!

So the plans for the weekend. Running after work tonight, probably about 6.5-7 miles. Maybe a run with my brother in the morning, if not gym, and some kind of activity Sunday, run/ swim/ aerobics/ gym. Ooh, what to choose?!

Still on track, still feeling good and still looking forward to the challenge ahead. Happy days!
