My back was killing again this morning, so much so I had to crawl on my hands and knees to the bathroom! No park run for me then. Mo Farah ran in the park with his wife this morning! I did'nt know who he was until hubby told me. He was upset to have missed him. As I am writing this hubby has gone out for an hour long run locally and I'm jealous. I think these two weeks are a test of my resilience.
I really don't want to give in and stop running all together. I won't though because I actually like it! I like the beginning when I am dressed up and ready to go out with my bouncy trainers on - they kind of make you feel bouncy and give you the energy and motivation to go out. Then I love the end of the run - the feeling of achievement, the sweat, the hot skin, the stretching and then the best bit - the cool shower -all that is worth the run. The run itself I could take or leave - I often battle with myself to carry on. Having French lessons to listen to is helping because it gives me something to concentrate on other than wanting to walk,. Of course I have to do the run to get to the best bit at the end plus it all burns 100's of calories! This week I've hardly burned any :-( Monday mornings weigh in will tell the damage.

Wk 14, D5. Friday
Friday
My back surprisingly felt better this morning. Still a bit stiff but much better all the same. I ran to the station in 16.45 minutes. My runkeeper app seems to be a bit slow on starting my activity so it only tracked 2 km. It took 0.21km to get it's act together! I could have stood outside the front door like a muppet for 5 minutes while I waited for the stats screen to come on but I was eager to get going. I hope it starts properly for tomorrows parkrun.
I should have done a fartlek today but I didn't want to jinx the back thing. I also didn't want to make my legs too stiff for tomorrow morning. So the fartlek will have to be postponed until next week or I may actually do it on Sunday.
Exercise station run = 170 calories
Food = difficult to say as the evening meal was in a restaurant
Breakfast
2 slices toast with flora light (medium slice from a small loaf)
Tea
Lunch
200g Baked beans on 2 slices of toast
Yoghurt
Tea
Afternoon
Tea
2 thin biscuits
Dinner
2 cosmopolitans and a few glasses of wine!
rice and chicken

Week 14, D 4 - Hurty back :-(
Thursday
My back was killing this morning. I struggled to put my socks on! Still, I had to get the car so I walked it, wincing all the way. My day was busy with clients. Standing is better for my back than sitting. I got a recommendation for a physio in the next town so I may give her a ring tomorrow. Trouble is my back kills in the morning but by the time my body has moved around a bit it eases up almost completely during the day. Now and again I get a sharp pain from the bottom of my back down through to the top of my left thigh, which stops me in my tracks. Picking stuff up off the floor is not easy either. I know its a trapped nerve. But I will get it seen to. I'm just not very good at making appointments and seeing doctors and the like. Quite often by the time I get to the appointment I'm better anyway.
Since coming back from Holiday I haven't got myself organised with food in the house so I need to do a big shop this weekend and get more organised. Next week will be a better week for exercise and eating.
Exercise - station walk burning 150 calories
Food - 1546 calories
Breakfast
2 slices toast with flora light
Tea
Lunch
Pesto pasta
Yoghurt
Dinner
sausages
couscous
wine
