Shazzabir CC Journey to 9st!

How was your weekend in the lovely Peak District? Hope you got a little less sun burnt than I did!
 
How was Chatsworth hun? Did you get any running done in this searing heat? :)
 
Chatsworth was brilliant!!! I actually managed a 10k on Sat and a 5k yesterday. Was quite hard in the heat, but felt I needed to make up for some of the food I had eaten! Yes not my best food wise or alcohol wise!! Oh well new day today. The scenery is just so lovely. Squeezy you are so lucky!! I did ok with the sun, despite having fair skin, normally I just look at the sun and burn.

I'm going to change my running schedule a little, so I'm now running every other day. Before I based it on running on my day off, my long run on a Sunday and then any other run I can squeeze in between. Which then meant running on consecutive days sometimes, which I don't like to do. So the plan this week will be: Tue, Thu & Sat and then next week Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun. So my plan will now be fortnightly. The only downside is I will need to be up at 04.30 to do the runs in the week.

Now it's time for a very strict regime to get rid of the extra lbs I will have put on. Time for Bob Harpers skinny rules!! :)
 
Sounds like an excellent weekend shaz!
I am very lucky, i live in a beautiful part of the country.
I bet you didn't do as much damage as you think. Running 15k will have fought the pounds away. X
 
Hi Shazz :)

Gathered from a few of your posts that you're a keen runner and I've recently started so will be following your diary for inspiration!

Hi Lauren, yes I certainly love running! Are you following a running programme?

Well I am up, so best go put my trainers on! My intention is to run until my daughter wakes up, so could run anywhere between 1-4 miles :)
 
I managed to squeeze in 4 miles before she woke up. Feeling so much better now :)

I'm not actually following a programme, but I'm taking part in the 10k race for life this July so just trying to slowly build up my stamina and speed. I've only really been running at the gym on the treadmill so far, don't feel confident enough to run outdoors until I've gotten better at it.

At the moment I'm just following an interval pattern of walking for 2 minutes, then running for 2, then walking again etc. I can't seem to run any longer than 5 minutes before feeling like my legs have turned to jelly and I'm panting like crazy!! Do you advise any running training programme I should follow?

I wish I could run outdoors in the mornings, but I set my alarm at 5 to get ready for work and get my son ready to go down his nan's, so I don't have time really to squeeze in a run too! But I think I'm going to start running on a Saturday and Sunday morning, no work so no excuses :)

Well done on your 4 mile run this morning! Inspiring! xx

I would recommend C25K. That was the first programme I did, or there is a C210k you might want to look at. I found following a programme really motivated me and made me see it through to the end. Also they are so well scheduled that you feel challenged but have the ability to progress through the weeks quite easily.
It took me a good few weeks before I had the confidence to run outside, but once you do it for the first time you soon realise it wasn't as bad as you first thought. You concentrate more on yourself than you do passers by.

That's great Lauren. Good luck, although I'm sure you'll be fine :)
 
Today I have spent the day cleaning, washing and ironing. I know how to live..!!!!!
The hardest thing was having an exercise free day (rest day). I will make up for it 2moro when I get my bum out of bed in the morning. I am hoping for another 4 miles, but will see what time my daughters wakes up.
 
Thinking if I write in my diary it may keep me awake until I drink my very strong coffee!!
Thinking I am pretty mad to be getting up at this time, but I know I will be thankful I did after my run.
I jumped on the scales this morning, just 1lb to go, then my w/e naughtiness will be paid back!!! Was quite a high gain this time, 4lb, but that's what you get eating pizza and drinking wine. The good thing is I know following Bob's plan that I can lose any w/e gain in a few days. So think when I get to goal I will be relaxed at the w/e and then follow Bobs plan during the week.

Unfortunately my bank holiday is going to be a tough one to stay on track with. We have friends over Sat, family over Sun and eating out with friends on Mon. My exercise used to pay for my w/e damage, but my burns are so low now that they barely cover the bottle of wine!
Running wise I am planning 8 miles on Sat and 4 miles on Monday. So hopefully I will burn about 800 cals. So will probably get another STS next week on the scales. However I am hoping to get to goal the following week....!!! Just need a w/e where I can be good, lol.
Ok my coffee has cooled, so now feel safe to stop waffling and drink my coffee and go running!!!!
 
Managed 5k and yes I do feel so much better for it :)
