So after being all motivated ready to get back on training with a plan to pound the streets in place the dreaded chesty cough, sinus and generally any germs going hit me.
I have to admit I really did wonder at one point if these were all signs I should back off from my goals. Was something somewhere telling me this wasn’t meant to be?
Then I told my self to stop being stupid, we make our own destiny. I’m not expecting to fly through the finish looking like a top athlete but what I am still aiming for is to finish no matter what time or state although I would like to be in one piece and reach the end before it gets dark 😂😂
I was still feeling wheezy at the start of this week so I decided as oppose to sitting and doing noting I needed to get out and stretch these abandoned legs.
Thanks to my day job as a Slimming World Consultant I have 10,000 leaflets all to be delivered in time for the new year, yay!! Arnt I lucky 😁.
Surley walking miles is better than nothing and will help build up my muscles again?
My plan was to leaflet this week and my first steady run will be New years Eve at Tattersall Lakes, a nice flat plod around the lake before dropping into the jacuzzi 😂😂.
I’ve covered endless driveways, letterboxes I’m sure some houses have hidden their letterboxes and build their drives on mount everest on purpose, but it’s all added up in strengthing my legs and boy do I feel it. Its also helped boost my confidence. I know getting back up to speed is going to be tough but I feel I can do it.
Sunday 22nd my first morning out, 12.69miles – look at those Calories burned! No wonder I lost 2.5lbs at the scales on the Tuesday.
Wednesday 26th (yes boxing day!) – 9.37 miles. All I could focus on was how many miles do I need to do to wear off a Christmas pudding from yesterday 😂😂. Prior to returning back to mums today for more food.
Saturday 28th – spent the morning with my amazing members and then pottered about for 6.9miles
Sunday 29th – knew today was going to be a big leaflet push day so up and fuled with my bowl of porridge. Another 9 1/2 miles of leafleting done. Killamarsh is a hilly area with lots of steep driveways, I may have been walking today but deffinetly some hill work carried out.
Monday 30th – last day leafleting in 2020, headed out to Mosbrough early today as in group this evening. Managed to get a good few hours in
Just one last commitment now before we see in 2020, to go for a run today when we arrive at Tattersall, better get the kit packed 😁
