Thanks ladies
I did enjoy the race yeah. They changed the route to last year so it was nice to actually start on the hoe.
The atmosphere was brilliant. So many people out cheering and I saw so many people I knew out cheering this year too - it was just so nice! I had my name printed on my top too and even people I didn't know were shouting "go on Tanya". Just an all round really nice day.
I had some tough parts and some really good easy parts. I didn't run the saltram hill I walked it. I think that was a good tactic as I got to the top (took the second stone out of my damn trainer!!!) and got running straight away.
I am a teeeeny bit gutted I didn't get under 2:30 but I am putting that down to having to stop twice to get a stones out.
I set off feeling really good and ready. Kept telling myself I can do this and i've trained for it and I deserve it (sorry if thats a bit too big head like) and I was so focused and determined. I think I was running at around a 10:30-11min mile pace but I did have a few walks involved which brang the pace down to 11:29per mile over all. If anyone is interested here are my garmin stats for sunday ... Untitled by summergurl at Garmin Connect - Details
I will get my sub 2:30 at bristol and my aim is 2:20 .. but the main goal there is sub 2:30
My dad did really well too. He came in in 1:56:21 and hadn't done a single training run cuz he's suffering with his knees. Not bad considering. And my two friends came in in 2:16 something. So proud of them
Food and drink since sunday has been off the scale. Well, not really food wise (i've just picked alot with only really one meal, breakfast monday and tuesday of bacon & egg sandwich) and i enjoyed a few ciders last night at home.
Back to it (ish) today. Will pull the picking back and get back to decent meals. I havent been shopping and I don't intend to until monday as i'll use up what I have here first. Got to knuckle down now as only 16weeks until Bristol and I want to lose 18lbs.
I'll weigh myself again next thursday as i'm guna give myself chance to pull back whatever gain i've had these past 3days!
Got out for a run today. Gently 2miles to get the legs moving again. Not as tough as I thought it was going to be and nowhere near as tough as last years recover run was!!

My arms are far from toned i'm afraid
Woke up late today, but I just couldnt get up. Mustve needed the sleep. So missed my planned run but taking a break this week will probably do good. I did go to body pump though. I died, seriously, felt like it! Squats absoltly caned my thighs and for the rest of the class (40mins) my thighs were a quivering mess. Still now walking down stairs they shake a bit LOL I did work hard during them though and really pushed myself cuz I missed my run!
I may go to step tomorrow evening but see how I feel. I can't do step and pump on sunday as I have overtime at my paid job - time & a half so i'll be taking it as hours which means 1.5days off too good to refuse!
Today food hasnt been great, still trying to get back on track from the 3days off track, i'll get there. I have to. Just taking it a day at a time and if I pick then I pick but i'm tryyyyyyyyyyyyying to stop it!

Hey Tan
I think it's quite common to have a relief wobble when you accomplish a goal. Does that sound strange? I guess it's rewarding yourself for the hard work
Sounds like you're determined for Bristol though, hope you get to the weight you want for it x

Nope, it doesnt sound strange, I think Jan mentioned it too. Theres rewarding and just being a pig! :giggle: i've been the later! haha
I am hoping I can get back on track asap, today has been ok, no unplanned snacks etc.
If I cant get back to it then I have been in contact with a guy who takes body pump etc (but not at my gym) who runs this programme where you have shakes. 2 shakes, 2snacks and 1main meal. I am considering it as we've spoken about my phys plan with it too.
So we shall see but its just a vague plan at the minute.
Hoping I can get back to it but I really want these 18lbs gone

I really hope I can Bev! :fingerscrossed:
I have a plan, I may start it monday if the PT guy gets back to me about me starting monday if not then i'll do my own version based on what he's said. I would like the support of him though but not entirely too fussed if not.
Went for a run today. Was good to get some proper mileage in the legs though I wasnt really 'feeling' it.
Undecided if i'm guna weigh myself tomorrow when I get up. I should do but I know its going to be a huge gain so may save the crappy feeling for next week when it should hopefully not be as much!
