Week Beginning 17 February 2014
Monday
After a chat with the hubbie last night regarding my fitness (or lack there-of), my lack of motivation to train and the knowledge that the challenges are looming ever closer, he encourages (nags) me out of bed this morning then tells me I'm doing it wrong (on the rower), rude words are exchanged and he exits to work in a huff.
Training is harder at half-term but after stopping the rower five times in order to break up fights, dispense bran flakes (what do you mean you want breakfast - I'm training!) and sending one child to her bedroom, 30 minute exercise is done. Good, on with the day.
Fell asleep for a couple of hours this afternoon while the small people watched Madagascar. Late night last night plus disturbed sleep, must get to bed earlier tonight.
Rower - 2500m, 14:40
Treadmill - 1 mile, 10:40

3 egg omelette with banana and blueberries

25 minutes on the treadmill - 2.2miles
- aiming for 30 minutes but got interrupted by Sainsbury's delivery 15 mins early!
3 egg omelette with banana and blueberries

Realisation Dawns!
Got a little distracted with colds, sick children, tiredness, the weather and, well, basically life. Fitness and nutrition goals all over the place. Training stalled.
Woke up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night (actually, trying to get back to sleep after smallest child woke me again!) realising that time is marching on and I'm am still overweight and under-trained.
Timescale
14 weeks to 10K race
15 weeks to 26 mile walk
19 weeks to Snowden Challenge
Time to stop messing about, making excuses and get down to it.....

About this Blog
This year I have a few fitness and healthy goals. This blog is my diary/log to keep me on track, inspire myself and track how I am doing.

Challenges:
1. 10k run in May
2. 26 mile walk in May
3. Snowden Challenge in June. 40 mile cycle, canoe lake, climb Snowden
