Thoughts:
Yesterday was a hell of a day! I don't know why, I think it was the time change? I just felt drained, tired and unmotivated after my personal training session (Which wasn't very good). My legs felt like lead.
So I got some sleep and I finally dragged myself out of bed. Gym after work on a Monday is a must. I love my bed.
So I decided today to go back to something that I enjoyed doing when I was younger and fitter. Running. When I was younger I used to religiously run a 5k every morning. So I decided that I was going to try that again.
The last time I ran a 5k was this time last year. I wasn't too fit and i huffed and puffed my way through it.
So how did I get on? I got through it and I huffed and puffed but managed 40 minutes. Now I used to run these under 30 minutes. But when the clock hit 5.00 I almost cried. Here I am at the biggest I have ever been and I ran a 5k. A few times I jumped to the sides of the treadmill for a quick breath but I dragged myself through it! I feel amazing. Plus my best friend Sunny encouraged me on the way and Kathryn was there training someone a few treadmills down. I couldn't let both of them down. At the 2.5k mark I thought I was going to die!!!! My left butt cheek seized!!!! So there I was hobbling trying not to draw attention to the fact that my left butt cheek seized. But I pulled through that pain.

I am going to try and run a 5k on my cardio days, I think. I want to get it under 30 minutes again. It's a small side line goal I can work to. I know I can do this so I just need to keep building on it.
So onwards and upwards, y'all!!!!
