VLM + 1 week
Apr2920126:01 p.m.
This week I have mainly been ....... resting!
All things relative, you understand. Monday was spent wandering around London, before a 4 hr trip back on the train. Tuesday & Wednesday, walked the dog, Thursday did a 2 hr gym session (including a gentle run) - nothing too silly, but felt surprisingly good. Walk again on Friday & Saturday, and today did a 6.5 mile run in the pouring rain. The legs objected a bit at first, but soon settled in. After recent runs, the 6.5 miles were over & done with in no time at all.
Have gone down with a cough/cold since coming back from London, but as it doesn't appear to have gone down on my chest, will keep plodding away for now. Hoping to have a go at a 5 mile off road race next weekend.
I've also had a word with the gym staff and think I'm going to have another programme review, but also sign up to some fitness classes. It has been a bit of a task this past 12 months keeping the weight down, but having lost a load of weight feel so much better for it. I'm hoping to keep going on the weight loss, whilst improving the overall fitness & would love to do battle with the VLM again next year if I get in - but already eyeing up some alternatives .......

Feels like I'm doing nothing!
Strange, isn't it, that when we're still doing the long runs, the weekends keep whizzing around so quickly & it seems like you're struggling at times to... -

To steal a title from the 80's band "Europe" Where on earth has the time gone? I see I didn't get to post up last weeks effort, so I'll start there: 22...
