Day 350 – Week 50 – 50 mins (30)
Oh my goodness – have just realised I only have 15 days to go.
Of course, it doesn’t feel quite as satisfying as it would have done if I’d managed to keep up with the programme and was happily running for a full 50 minutes every day, but I am still pretty pleased with myself for keeping going despite the setbacks.
Today – I quite happily pottered along with 30 minutes of stretching and strengthening. I am beginning to think the stretching might be the most important part of all this….after a few days off any attempt to touch my toes reminds me I am not a 21-year old anymore. Who know how rubbish I’d be if I stopped stretching at all……

Day 349 – Week 50 – 50 mins (37)
I think we’ll just ignore the fact I have been absent for a few days.
I blame it on the election – you know, this never-ending British election. I’m glued to the telly, I might miss a minor development, I can’t possibly go out for a run.
And after all, everything else is blamed on the election. The dips in the stock market, the deteriorating currency….it’s hardly surprising that my exercise routine has been missed in all the excitement!
But I was back this morning – a 37 minute run routine – so was pretty happy with that. Surely, nothing can stop me now…

Day 348 – Week 50 – 50 minutes (0)
Pathetic.
Nothing at all.
You would think that I would be going through a period where I was going all out to make the targets as I approach the end of this experiment, but this is not happening at all.
Now, I just feel like I’m going through the motions until I get to the end.
The truth is, I just don’t care enough about being a superfit, superthin exercise nut. I want to be healthy, I don’t want to be a total slob – but am I prepared to push myself to get into the best condition I possibly can be? It seems not.
I will continue to do a bit on some days, and a bit more on others – but the truth is, it is highly unlikely I am ever going to be Kelly Holmes or Cathy Freeman. And, I really have no problem accepting that….
Of course, I DO have a hard time accepting I am never going to be Princess Leia…

Day 347 – Week 50 – 50 minutes (8)
Struggled to get up early this morning, after a few too many late nights, so only managed a very basic eight minutes of stretching – didn’t really get far enough into it to do the strengthening bit.

Day 346 – Week 50 – 50 mins (37)
Added another few minutes to the running routine, so I think I’m almost back to where I was before getting sick.
I’ll be up to speed just in time to stop. Only about 19 days to go I think….
