The 10k was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBB!!!!

It was the BEST 6.2miles I have ever run. Except for a 1minute walk stop to take on some water I ran the entire way. Every single hill, of which there were 4 long swooping ones I RAN! I was so chuffed with myself. I stood at the start line and said to myself, run every hill. They are only hills.

I knew I wasnt going to get a PB cuz its a hilly course but when I came in and saw the clock I literally could have cried!

I ran it in 1:03:17 and my previous pb was 1:04:58 so I knocked off 1minute 31seconds

Went out drinking after, stuck to vodka & d.cs but then yesterday I stuffed my face; crisps, sandwich, roast, chocolate, peanuts .... cider! and more vodka.

Today is going okish but I will be back tomorrow with writing everything down. Its time to knuckle down now for the Bristol Half xx

WOW! Congrats you!! Well done They must think a lot of you and it'll deffo stand you in good stead when (IF EVER!) they start recruiting again eh?!!

Sorry you're still having sleep difficulties. I think it might be worth speaking to your doc as if you're waking up in a lather of sweat it could be something hormonal ... ??

Good luck with the wi - I bet it won't be anywhere near as bad as you think xx

 

[Foo Fan]

Fab news about the promotion

 

[summergurl]

Thanks girls.
My first shift tomorrow in my new role. It's going to be a bit scary as the guy i'm going out with is going to pretend he's a brand spanking newbie & i'll have to show him the ropes!

Weigh in was a loss of 1.5lbs. Could have been better. Will try harder. Weighing 12st 3.25lbs now. Want to be in the 11s by the bristol half in 3 weeks time. I will do it!!

Skipped body pump today but made my run a bit longer.

Run:

Happy with that
