Gym!

[Batman]

Dont worry about the sweaty men - the people I cant stand in my gym are the super fit, skinny women with a full face of make up and perfect hair! But they also motivate me just a little bit too!

Ugh! I know exactly what you mean! People should not be able to say "I'm so fat" while at the gym- sometimes they aren't; just because they can't run for a minute without getting out of breath, it doesn't make them fat, just unfit! And then spending ten minutes after their showers grabbing at imaginary flab in the mirror, huffing and puffing, just makes me dislike them more!

In other news (also need to hunt down the NSV thread in a sec), I just text this to my cousin, following my run:

"0:00-5:00 walked
5:00-6:30 ran
6:30-8:30 walked
8:30-10:00 ran
10:00-12:00 walked
12:00-13:30 ran
13:30-15:30 walked
15:30-17:00 ran
17:00-19:00 walked
19:00-20:30 ran
20:30-22:30 walked
22:30-32:30 RAN
32:30-44:00 limped and oofd and ouched while walking

300 calories burnt, left leg in agony but I have never felt so good, a ten minute run, I didn't get out of breath or stop or swear or have to promise myself a reward if I got to the end. So happy "

Now I'm really hungry and really really tired, the shower is occupied and what I want to eat needs to be cooked! Off I go...

Day 1 of week 3 was completed today, and now my ankles are quite sore. I hate having to walk, I'd rather keep running. Had a sudden desire to just carry on again, like on the weekend, but I just told myself to trust in the plan, follow the podcasts, and soon, I will be able to run 5k in 30 minutes. Hell yeah!
