I was extremely pleased to have lost 1.2kg over the past 2 weeks. And the body fat % has come back under 20%. There is still plenty of work to do but at least I am on the right track and making progress.

This was an easier week, with lower running mileage. I managed to exercise twice 3 days of the week. Up till friday I had exercised 54 days in a row (which is the second best i’ve ever managed but short of the 63 days I did in 2004). Unfortunately we had to go away over the weekend, and saturday morning we had to wake up at 2.30am, I just couldn’t get up any earlier to exercise, try as I might!

I was pleased to be able to do a couple of runs whilst we were away in Melbourne. It was nice to run down to St Kilda, along St Kilda road. Very different to running along the river in Brisbane. I personally find it more scenic and St Kilda road is a really wide road with tramlines and beautiful trees lining the sides. The only problem is the cold! Even though it is only March, I was painfully reminded just why we moved to Brisbane, as I don’t enjoy running in the cold. Once I had bought a polyprop I was fine, it just seems very early in the year to be having to wear thermals!

The 61km I ran was about 5km more than I had planned to do. So much for getting lots of rest and freshening up the legs. But hey I figured I did have a day off exercise. This coming week it’s time to make a small increase again…

“Running is a big question mark
that’s there each and every day.
It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp,
or are you going to be strong today?’”
