Week One complete!

Need to get on top of this blogging lark.  I used to be so good but now I just don't seem to have the time!

On Wednesday I went to Yoga again. I got into - correction -

"tried" to get into all the positions and really enjoyed the stretch, and was amazed at just how much more you can stretch once you hold the position! 

I especially enjoyed the relaxation session at the end - I'm sure I fell asleep as I can't recall anything she said!  I hope I wasn't snoring or dribbling, how embarrassing would that be!

On Thursday I decided to go on the treadmill and did 3 miles of speed intervals! Speed and I don't really connect but if I keep trying maybe one day my legs will get the idea!  Although I was knackered I felt a huge sense of achievement that I actually kept to the intervals planned.  I'm going to try and fit a speed session in each week! Watch this space!

I had a well deserved rest day on Friday ... well apart from strutting my stuff at the school disco that is!

Yesterday I conquered 2 Wainwrights! 

Just 2 baby ones to try out my new walking boots, I didn't want to go too far if I was going to be crippled! I walked 5.38 miles and not a blister in sight!  

One happy bunny and 2 happy feet! 

We can now tick Ling Fell and Sale Fell from our long "to do" list!

This morning I went running with a running buddy who I haven't run with in a long long time!  

Someone up there was plotting against us! 

She was injured, then I was injured, then she was injured and then I was injured ... finally we are both fit and healthy again simultaneously! 

We agreed to meet at 10am this morning, and managed a 10K run. 

I found it quite difficult but I don't think a huge Chinese meal washed down with wine last night really helped the situation! That combined with trying to hold a conversation without hyperventilating made it more challenging than usual!  

Anyhow, I somehow managed to keep up, kept breathing and really enjoyed running with someone again! You can view our run here.

This afternoon I took my new boots out for another outing and did a 2.79 mile walk.  It was a cold but clear crisp day, which gave some fabulous views! 

So far so good!  Only 13 running miles this week but plenty of cross training.  I am determined not to run myself ragged running! I will listen to my body and do what it dictates!

Roll on week 2!
