5k run done!Woohoo!
Well done!! How was it?? Did u get a time??? Im gonna run after work, week 8, but I'm considering seeing how I feel about just going to the full 5k seeing as its only an extra 2 minutes!

Haven't got my time yet, they send us a text or email later today to let us know how we placed and what time we did it in. I definitely did better than the last official 5k I did which was 36mins - according to my phone I was around 34 mins, but I forgot to tell it that I finished the run until I was in the queue for registering my place so that might be slightly higher than my actual time, fingers crossed! All I really cared about though was that I was able to run the entire way and that I wasn't last! Just go straight to the 5k - 2 mins is nothing once you're running that far already! xx
It was better than I thought it was going to be! It's much easier to pace yourself when there's a big crowd to run with!
looks like I have to do Park Run next Saturday now! 9am sharp, ouch! I'm sooo happy I did it! It really wasn't that hard...can't believe I'm saying that! But it has been the easiest week of them all...that feels odd to say!
Definitely Park Run for you next week, the early get up isn't too bad and the run soon wakes you up! What's the difference between that and Platinum? Just the amount of weeks you've done it for?? x
That's fantastic! Well done!!
Ooh you're slightly ahead of me with the Body Magic, I've got 3 more weeks to go to get my Gold!
it's pretty basic though. Do u use Map My Run?
Whoops thought I wrote it lol. I downloaded Map My Run I got really confused... :-/ maybe it does but I couldn't see how it generates a run route...so I downloaded an app called Route Loops for this one

but I ran my own route and it just logged and recorded I I might download that one
it was also pouring with rain and I didn't have a great coat on...all in all terrible! Gonna see how early I get up tomorrow and so will see if I can get out before work and try redeem myself!! I wanted to complete 3 miles but my body wasn't having any of it =( I hope it was just rain and cramps that ruined it, and I can carry on through this just fine.
My run went crud today! It's been such a tough week for me with everything but exercise, and today I let myself down big time! =( I ran a mile and had the worst cramps/ stitch ever, ended up walking a mile home and tries to run again but the pains just started up immediately. I think running after eating carbonara didn't go down too well! I waited half hour
Making me very nervous to dare do Park Run Saturday and face same disaster as today =(
Being on the new week!

I did a running course with a professional and it was worth every penny to ensure I was running the correct way to avoid injuries xx
and no heavy pasta dinners this time! Lol ^.^
Do this for about a minute if you can x
Haha good stuff! The best way to warm up the muscles around your ribs is to stand with feet hip-width apart, hips facing front, and then let your arms hang to your sides and twist your upper body around from side to side, letting your arms swing around with the momentum, but always keeping your hips facing front
