Really proud of myself this week, 3 solid runs completed, the first was a 5k fundraiser with PT Mollie, UK Fitness Bloggers for Rods Racing a charity supporting orphans with Downs Syndrome, we met up at The Running Works store in London before we headed out for a 5k run around the city and river, taking in the sights of The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, County Hall, The Monument and St Katherines Dock
My next run was the London Winter Run a 10k race around London organised by Cancer Research UK, the race I was on my way to last year when I had my accident, you can read my race recap here, a week later I am still impressed with the time we ran, especially as i’d ran 5k the day before & I normally like to have a rest day between runs
& my final run of the week was a quick 3 miler Tuesday morning, I knew I was going to be busy the rest of the week and as we were speaking about activity at Weight Watchers last week I decided to take advantage and go for a quick run before work, I don’t get to run in central London very often and this week I was spoilt getting to run in 3 different parts of London as Tuesdays run saw me run from Oxford Circus, down Regents Street to Picadilly Circus, down to Pall Mall, a lap of St James Park, passing Horse Guards Parade (probably the next time I will be here will be at the end of the Marathon), before heading back to Oxford Circus
Note to self, if I do this route again go early, my run out was fine but its amazing what a difference 15 minutes can make to central London traffic and my run back was stop start, my Garmin even lost its signal, although that may just be that its a rubbish watch, I love my Garmin 10 but the battery life won’t see me through the marathon so I have started to use my Garmin 210, and it just doesn’t seem to like finding a GPS signal, I spend ages standing outside my front door, after waiting 10mins for it to find a signal for Saturdays 5k I ended up starting running and finally 1km later it found a satalite
On the weight front I stayed the same again, I am really going to make an effort to clean up what I am eating, I am trying my best but I am not seeing any results, I don’t even particuarly care about the number on the scales I just want to feel better when I run & I have definitely found the runs a little easier this week after making a conscience effort to fuel myself better for my runs
