Ok, so Christmas eating has pretty much subsided now, so it was time to take that scary stand on the scales to see just how bad the noshing and drinking has been. And its been pretty bad, its been – drum roll….
Stats before – BP – 125/80, 12st 3, pulse 66
Stats today – BP – 130/82, 12st 9, pulse 66
Half a stone then, half a little stone would be fine, but half a big heavy “real life” stone well no wonder the run was harder than normal this morning!!! That is proper chunky, and heaviest ever. Am hoping it will come off as quick as it went on, but I doubt that… Although I am now down to a tub of Pringles and only 5 bottles of beer a night! ;o0
I am starting the full training from this week, so went out and did a five miler this morning. Still off work until Thursday, so had nothing pressing to get back to – left at around 9:00 and it was pretty chilly, but I had my tights and my hat on.
Not a bad run, legs had felt very tight yesterday as if they could do with really good massage, but after the usual 15 mins or so all felt pretty good. Should be able to get my computer up and running by the end of this week, so will be able to sort out some tunes for the MP3 player which might make the runing less boring. I am thinking of getting a language course, but from previous experience they are pretty poor but we’ll see.
Got back after the 5 miles, with an average of 5.8 miles/hour again – so nothing if not consistant, with a max of 7. Was very slow at one point as I attempted to negotiate a hill of ice, but again not a bad run.
