Hi, guys! How was your weekend? If you saw my post yesterday, you’ll know that my weekend was one of two distinct halves: a stormy Saturday and a glorious Sunday. We had a rare quiet weekend at home with no plans, and it was bliss.
I rounded up week three of my training plan nicely with a gorgeous walk, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m pleased to say that my training is firmly back on track, with three solid and consistent weeks of sticking to the plan 😀 Happy, happy!
Here’s how last week went, with the scheduled sessions on the left compared to my actual training on the right:
This week is the midway point of my ‘get back to it’ plan, and the mileage ramps up a little this week. We’ll see how it goes 😉
To get me started, here’s something I”ll be focussing on this week:
Have a brilliant week, lovelies!
Hello, and despite the rain, hail and gale force winds, welcome to summer!
How has the past week been? Mine has been ace. My training has gone really well, and my 10k/half marathon training is on track:
16 miles and cross training done: ye-haaa! 😀
I had another fab paddle boarding session on Saturday, followed by a book signing by local author Denzil Meyrick. I read his first book on Saturday and I’m well into book two. If you like crime fiction, I’m sure you’ll love his books.
I’m ready for this coming week: my cold is almost gone, so I’m off to Clubbercise and will then have a three mile walk afterwards. It’s not walking friendly weather out there, so the dreadmill will have to do.
Here’s my motivation for the week, as my focus begins to look forward to the Great North Run:
Have a brilliant week!
Hello, is it a bank holiday where you are? It isn’t here in Argyll, but I’ve taken a sneaky Monday off 😉 It’s just as well, really, as I’ve been floored with a doozer of a cold. 😦
It’s been working on me since Thursday evening, but I’ve powered on over a busy weekend. I didn’t go paddle boarding as planned, but other than that I’ve had a busy time. But today it’s caught up with me and I’ve had to admit to being sick. Bleugh.
I could feel sorry for myself all day: instead I managed a slow two mile shuffle on the ‘mill followed by a 45 mile walk while I watched an episode of Suits 🙂 I stuck to the treadmill because I might genuinely scare folks today if they saw me! Lol! Back to work tomorrow, here’s hoping make up can work miracles!
In other news, I’d like to share a huge well done to Kyla at Early Bird Fitness for running her first marathon yesterday in Ottowa in the a-ma-zing time of 3:28! Wowee!
My week one of back- on- track 10k training has gone really well. The plan was:
That was a 10 mile target. What I did was:
Monday: 1 mile walk, Clubbercise class
Tuesday: 3 mile run
Wednesday: 1 mile walk
Thursday: Pound! taster session
Friday: 4 mile run, Pound! taster session
Saturday: 1.5 mile run
Sunday: 1 mile walk + walking supporting MOK run
I reckon I got it about right and – apart from this cold- I’m feeling great and firmly back on track 😀
So, to keep my motivation up, here’s my mantra for this week:
Have a fabulous week! 😀
Hi everyone, how has your week- and weekend- been? Mine has been awesome!
On Saturday I had lunch in Merchant Square, Glasgow with my mum and sisters. I don’t know what happened to me, but for once I didn’t even think about taking a picture of my food! 😮 We had arincini and bruschetta to start, then I had carbonara. It was delish!
We had a wander around the arts and crafts stalls, and picked up some brilliant cards.
Yesterday was the final day of the 5×50 Challenge and again, for the third year, I really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be signing up in 2016. Will you?
Today is day one of my 10k training plan: it should be a one mile walk, but I replaced that with my Clubbercise class as cross training instead. As Jacqui, our instructor, was on holiday last week it was tough getting back into it, but as always it was a fantastic class. Love it!
Tomorrow night calls for a 3 mile run, and I’m looking forward to that too.
Here’s some motivation for this week:
And I say amen to that! 😀
Ha ha happy Monday!
How has the start of your week been? Mine has been great. I’ve still been buzzing after the weekend! After a great day today, I’ve crushed 5k on the treadmill, done some cleaning and I’m ready for dinner. Pasta and meatballs: yum yum! 😀
Here’s my thought for the coming week: 
What’s your goal this week? Bring on the awesome! 😉
