Hi,
I went running today (Friday). It was good run (or at least it felt good). It was the same distance as the other cross country runs I’ve been doing lately but I was more determined. I pushed harder, I was breathing harder and I felt compelled to push myself to go faster.
I wonder if this is as a result of having three days away from fitness?
I hadn’t intended to have a break of three days but a combination of circumstances resulted in me having three days off.
I don’t really feel too bad about it either. Had the break stretched to four days I might have viewed it differently.
I’m not going to beat myself up about it, but I do want to make sure that I don’t keep doing that. I want to do some exercise most days, even if it s just moderate exercise.
I didn’t manage to get in a couple of 40 minute runs as I’d planned but I hope I have found a means to get those longer runs done. I’m going to run earlier in the morning to make sure I get it done before the chaos of everyday takes over.
I haven;t weighed myself but I’m guessing I still have to drop 30lbs. Fair enough, I mean, my emphasis has been on getting the exercise in and reconditioning myself after a long lay off.
I will lose the fat – the fat loss will happen… and sooner rather than later.
I’ll weigh, measure and take a picture tomorrow.
Be healthy!
