Day 98 – Week 14 – 14 mins
Today I broke my rule and didn’t exercise first thing after getting up. I know- it’s outrageous!
I had pretty much decided the night before that it wouldn’t happen. We had a party, it finished at one in the morning, the house looked like a bomb had gone through it, and I had four visitors. I knew that the likelihood of me crawling into the daylight out of the cellar, ignoring the state of the kitchen and going for a run was nigh on impossible. I decided that on this occasion, my minutes were going to have to wait until after a clean up and everyone had left – then I could do my strength workout at my leisure.
I have to admit to a glorious feeling of relief on waking up and knowing that I didn’t have to exercise first thing (the first time in 97 days!!) and enjoyed a cup of tea out in the garden with the visitors…we had some breakfast, cleaned up, went for a nice walk, had some lunch and then we waved them off.
Then my fella and I sat down and watched a DVD….
And then it was 6.00pm and I suddenly remembered I had exercise to do! I tell you – I was very close to forgetting all together, and that would of course mean no future slacking off from morning workouts!
But all’s well that ends well, my fourteen minutes were done, and I am collapsing into bed for an early night after what has been a thoroughly enjoyable, but rather exhausting weekend….

Day 97 – Week 14 – 14 mins
Dragged myself out of the cellar and past all the sleeping bodies to go for a jog outside this morning. 12 mins and 2 mins of stretching.
It’s definitely more difficult with a load of people in the house – and once again means explaining why I’m only going out for such a short time. But I guess it doesn’t sound quite as odd to explain that I’m going out for 12 mins as it did when I only went for 3.
Visitors still here tomorrow morning, so will be going for a run again – no room to be doing my push ups and leg raises.
