hi, I have just read your diary! I am also a rider, no horses just now though but two ponies for the little girls in my life.
I took up running last year, didnt ever think I would and I done my first 10k - which I never thought I would do. Was planning on doing the great north run this year but my sister is due her baby in sept and I wanna make sure I am around for that happening so I am going to stick to great scottish run and no great north run next year! It is funny with the running how I always achieve more than I thought and I thin this diet makes you realise how jmuch you can expect from your body and learn to push it. I am 2 stone lighter this april than I was last when I started running and even though I took the whole winter off as I run outside and can only go at night and found it was too dark and i didnt like to be out. Anyway when i started again this april I was able to do the same distance and pace I finished at last year which I assume is purely cos I am lighter and find the task easier!
Anyway, babbling! how you coping today with the diet? x
