Day 230 – Week 33 – 33 mins
33 minutes in the can today, to finish off the week in fine form.
I am starting something new, and on Sundays adding up the total number of minutes for the week, in the hope that I will see at least some kind of increase from week to week.
And by my reckoning it’s 145 minutes this week, averaging out at 20.71 minutes a day.
That’s not too bad. I’m pretty proud of that….

Day 229 – Week 33 – 33 mins (1)
Today is one of those days when I’m so glad I made the rule that as long as I do at least one minute of exercise, then it counts. Because to be honest there was no chance I’d be doing more than one minute today.
Having gone to bed late after too many glasses of red wine, I was generally knackered today, and the thought of sending blood racing through my body at anything other than a slow crawl was enough to make me just want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and the Saturday Guardian.
Some days, you just can’t do it. Fortunately the effect of a slack day is that it has a direct impact on your guilt levels and you do your best to make up for it the next day – she says optimistically!

Day 228 – Week 33 – 33 mins
Up nice and early to get my stretching and strengthening done before 7.30am when my fella was due back from an eight day work trip on the other side of the world!
Last thing I wanted was for him to arrive and me to say ‘Hi honey – glad to see you home – I’m just off to put my trainers on – you make yourself comfortable with a cup of tea!’
Nope – exercise was all done – I was showered and back in bed with said cup of tea by the time he walked in the door.
And the best thing is – now that he’s home - he’s found the BBC again!
Thank goodness for that….

Day 227 – Week 33 – 33 mins
It was a clear day this morning, so I thought I’d best take advantage of it, even though it means I will have been for a jog two days in a row.
I’m not sure I’ve actually used “have been for a jog two days in a row” in a sentence before, let alone actually done it!
I know it’s probably not what you are supposed to do – but I knew it could be a week before I get outside again, so I wasn’t going to waste it. It was a beautiful crisp winter morning and it was terrific to be out in it.
33 minutes done and dusted for today – yay!

Day 226 – Week 33 – 33 mins (28)
Much better today!
And it wasn’t raining, so I got myself out for a proper run.
Unfortunately, just as I was getting back from the run, I remembered I had to be at work an hour earlier than normal today to take part in a conference call. This is why the last five minutes of stretching didn’t get done.
I was in the door, in the shower, and back out again in half an hour – not the way I like to go about my mornings. I prefer a much gentler transition out into the big wide world…
