2 WHOLE MINUTES!!!!!!!
I could not believe it. I thought I might get a few seconds off but this was brilliant! I really pushed it at the end and actually overtook 5 people! It only hurt a little. My legs where fine but my lungs had to work for it. I wore my Skins and new running shoes so I think they did the trick. It was very frosty in the morning so I had my gloves on and a zip up top over my long sleeve top. At km 3 I had to take the top layer off which got stuck over my gloves, so I took off the gloves and shoved them in my mouth while I took off the zip up and tied it round my waist, all the while running. By this time I nearly suffocated myself with the gloves! Next time I won't wear so much stuff. I probably could have knocked off a few more seconds....
I haven't been great at counting the calories since my last post as I said because our kitchen is being gutted. Everything is in the front room and the place is a bit of a mess. Its a bit of a pain to keep on top of the calorie counting as well. It will be mainly salad type stuff over the next couple of weeks anyway coz I don't have an oven or a hob. I may get a take away in from time to time though. Having said that I don't think I have been too unhealthy eating wise. I've kind of got out of the habit weighing in on a weekly basis too but I will definitely do that on Friday and let you know the results!
Congrats! I did my first 5K in November. I walked it and my time was 56:17. I'm on week 2 of get running and hoping to shave off time too by February 18th for my 2nd 5K.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I did my first 5k in week 8 of get running using one of the runs as part of it and fully expecting to walk at least 1/2 of it but jogged the whole way!
