Again!
Feel like I am spending my life getting back to it. Not 100% sure what it is I am actually trying to get back to but ho hum.
Running hasn't been going as well as I would like, especially since we have a half marathon to run in about 8 week! eeeek that is very scary indeed.
But I did make myself run yesterday - 2 miles. Didn't break any records but I did it.
Then tonight at the gym I made myself do: (I have missed doing these!)
Distance - 5k
Time - 31 minutes
Speed - intervals 9.5km/h-12km/h
Calories - 366
So not my greatest run ever. And to make me even more annoyed my knee hurts. Think I did the side lunges wrong on RI30 yesterday...yes I am still on week 1!! Managed to do it yesterday but had to miss today with my knee. Hope its nothing major.
Off to see the fertility doctor tomorrow, this is very exciting but very scary too. Hopefully he has good news. And opeartion 'mini murph' will be underway.
Alot going on, mostly good. We might have a new house! This excites me alot, I love it. Perfect little cottage.
Life is mostly good :) x

Thursday, 8 March 2012
and so it begins....
Ripped in 30 days has officially started in the murph household. More on this later!
It has been a kind of a mixed bag diet and exercise wise. Will start with the good things:
Highs -
I ran my fastest 10k ever - 58 minutes 9 seconds
We signed up for Leeds half marathon
I also ran my fastest park run - 29 minutes
Lows -
My weight is up and down so I don't feel the benefit of the hard work running
We signed up for Leeds half - counting this a high and a low as I remember the agony of training last time. Also remember that hours spent running did nothing for the numbers I saw on the scale
My husband can run 10k in 48 minutes and 5k in 23! Think I am just going to have to learn to suck it up and deal with it.
I have a plan though. I have been researching runners diets and I am working on a way to bend slimming world to fit in with it. Don't think it would be a good example for a sw consultant to not follow the plan. I am sure it can be done, it just needs to be properly planned out.
So RI30 - I ache. BUT nowhere near as much as I feared. I am not expecting the same results as the person who inspired me to give it ago, I carry alot more weight in that area than she does. So I'll be happy to just see a reduction. We're booking a holiday on Saturday - motivaion I need hopefully to get my body bikini ready. Also in a nice shape for the baby I want to be growing in there by the end of 2012.
Will take my measurements and some more before photos today.
Aims for the next 30 days:
Carry on with Leeds Half training
RI30
Be on a runners diet
At least 4lbs lighter
Hmmmm wonder what I'll be posting in 30 days!
