It's been a while

Sep092010noon

Since my last post I have not been sat idly doing nothing just haven’t felt like I had anything to worth blogging about.

 

Weight loss now stands at 2 stone 6lbs and is still going down I hope.

 

Walking has been great,  I have joined the Ramblers Association and been out on several walks with them.  It’s amazing how many areas close to home that I have never visited before.  The company though makes a pleasant change from talking to myself.

 

My 25 mile challenge has been put on hold as I have been persuaded to volunteer at yet another Cancer Research event this time it’s a night time walk in and around Cardiff.  Participants have the choice of 13 or 26 miles and they start at 9pm.  I have volunteered for the midnight to 8am shift.  I will find another challenge to do instead although think this could well be a big challenge in its own right.

 

Running – well that’s a different story.  Apart from the odd jog across a field or running from the rain it’s been non-existent however this morning I decided to give it another go. 6 x 2 minute runs with 2 minutes walking between saw me with warm up and down completing 2.34 miles in 33.27 minutes.  I am very happy with that and will be trying another run at the weekend.

 

Update over.  Hope all is well in your World’s
