March fitness challenge-come join me and set your goal!

Brrrr....it’s very cold and windy out there, I almost got blown over a couple of times Just the 2.5km again today, on schedule for my 35km weekly target but if the weather is better tomorrow then I might attempt a little further.

Any otheupdates activity planned this weekend, some Shaun T perhaps?

I haven’t done the 30 day shred in a while and whilst it was a bit repetitive I found it really effective too. I like doing things everyday-can you tell?!

Great figures there Carrie.

I had an early flight this morning which should really be banned on a Friday as I’m shattered. I did consider doing 5k but it’s too windy and cold and 2.5km was bad enough! Soon it’ll time for wine though-have a lovely weekend folks.

It is tricky to find the time ASDwife, I hope the kiddies are on the mend and great job on keeping at the Shaun T workouts whilst being so busy. My hospital goer son was dispatched back to school today as he was climbing the walls yesterday. Getting back to some normality now.

I shall accept your bathroom excuses Pontiouspilates and harass you in April instead!

How are you getting on Carrie?

Any more for any more?

I managed a 10k again today, not speedy but done and I’m looking forward to some shorter runs for the rest of the week.

Where has everybody gone? I’m looking forward to your updates but feeling all alone

Part of my running ritual is reporting it here so I will bash on. After yesterday’s events I was keen to get back to some normality today, my 5km run this morning turned out to be 5.5km but I didn’t realise until I’d finished so no complaints there. It was my quickest pace too probably due to the fact that I parked at the top of a hill and run down. I’ll need to walk back up later!

A shorter run than planned today as I had some unexpected hospital trips yesterday and today. The patient is back home and seems well now though so back to the proper schedule tomorrow when I’m hopefully feeling a bit more with it.

Those Shaun T workouts are brutal are they not ASDwife? I remember attempting his T25 workouts a few years back and not lasting very long! Have you done Insanity?

I hope you feel better soon Carrie-that is a huge amount of exercise you’ve done this month, very well done.

Fartleks are quick bursts of speed. I ran 4 lampposts at speed yesterday then 4 lampposts much slower. I’m sure some proper runners would have better advice but I believe the aim is to get quicker over time.

I overshot my target today and managed to run 10.5km this morning. I haven’t done that distance in ten years, I am delighted! That’s Day 40 of my running streak.

My water drinking remains rubbish, I didn’t touch a drop yesterday so made myself fill up a two litre bottle when I got back from running this morning and it’ll be beside me as I work until it’s gone. I will glow like ASDwife, I will I will!

I tried some fartleks today, made me feel like a proper runner . My mileage is done for the week, still on target for my 1000 miles.

Off to drink some water to promote glowing now!

Have a lovely Sunday everybody.

My quest to glow has escaped me today, I need to drink lots of water immediately.

The weather is eugh! I just managed to talk myself into a run and I’m so glad only a short distance was required today-that was miserable but it’s done.

Where did everyone else go? How are you getting on with your March challenges?

Whoopy whoop, I dragged my husband out with me today so thought I’d get my last 5km of the week done whilst I had some company. When we finished I checked the distance and it was 5.9km so I’m now ahead of a schedule for the week and can get away with 2.5km on Saturday and Sunday.

I’m sitting here with a 2 litre water bottle too ASDwife in a quest to have glowing skin like you

Are you finding any difference with upping your water intake ASDwife? I’m thinking I should do the same as I only really drink tea and coffee and my skin has gone really dry. I’m not sure if it’s due to the cold weather, having the central heating on constantly, running without rehydrating properly or a combination of all three. It’s not a good look either way!

I’m not sure how much running time I’ll have for the rest of the week so I ran an easier paced 5km today to get some miles in whilst I had the chance-still on target for 1000miles for the year with over 9 months to keen it up

The resisting sweet things unless I make them myself has gone to pot. I had a meeting at work yesterday and had forgotten I’d been told I’d needed to take my own lunch as there were no facilities on site. I scoffed some shortbread biscuits I had in my bag-not good!

How is everyone getting on?

Just checking in to record my new record 🤗 I managed to run 9.5km tonight, I’m possibly a bit broken now so should probably take it easy over the next couple of days but I’m feeling rather pleased to have managed that. I also have a nice 10km route in mind whenever I find the energy to manage that extra 500 metres!

I agree exercising does lessen the urge to eat crap, it’s very odd and a good thing!

I managed to run 7.1km, I was going for 7.5km and thought I’d just added my 5km route to my 2.5km route but clearly I made a shortcut somewhere! It was hard enough with 400m less than planned. It’s still the furthest I’ve run in years so progress is being made.
