Day 292 – Week 43 – 43 mins (5)

Well, today was a bit all over the place.

You would think that given I had the day off I would have had plenty of time to go for my run.

BUT – I had a hair appointment this morning and a load of errands to run. So out I went and did them all, many that I had been putting off for months.

So, by the time I got home at about half past three – the last thing I wanted to do was go for a run.

And to top it all off – given that I had spent three hours getting my hair coloured, cut and blow-dryed, I REALLY was not keen to go and ruin it by running around getting all sweaty. So I just did five minutes on the bosu instead.

I know that is the most pathetic excuse in the world, but come on – girls – you know how I feel, right? I only go to the hairdresser about once every four months – I just had to let myself enjoy it!

Day 291 – Week 43 – 43 mins

I struggled a bit this morning. I just felt a bit weak and unmotivated.

But still – I figured I had the time – I was up early enough and I really had no excuse to pull out early from the strength and stretching session, even if I wasn’t going for it with as much oomph as I usually do.

So – made it through for my 43 minutes. And then felt pretty good about it.

Day 290 – Week 43 – 43 mins

Just managed to beat the rain this morning.

Got myself out the door at 7.30am – blessed light – it’s SO good to see it getting lighter earlier each morning.

But just as I was heading back after my little jaunt around the park it started to rain, so hugely grateful that I got going as soon as I was able. Otherwise, you know, I would have used that rain as an excuse….I’m really good at that.

Day 290 – Week 43 – 43 mins

Feeling good…getting up, doing a bit of warming up, a bit of a ballet barre, a bit of handweights, a few push ups, a few abs, some lunges and a bit of stretching….

43 minutes all in all…..and feeling good and strong….

And what’s more…it’s a damn site cheaper than a gym membership.

So far so good….

Day 289 – Week 43 – 43 mins (22)

It was a bit of a chaotic morning this morning.

I got up all right, but then I got distracted by my laptop while I was waiting for it to get light, and then it was almost too late to go for a run before work, but I had a quick, serious talking to myself and said, “No slacking off Suzi, get yourself out that door and for a run round the park.”

So I put the laptop away, I got myself into my running gear, strapped on the ipod and heart monitor, put on my shoes, grabbed my keys and walked out the front door.

And then stopped.

Somehow I’d missed the fact that it had snowed overnight, and the pavements were covered in ice.

There was nothing for it, I had to turn around come back in and drag out the bosu.

But I got bored after 22 minutes, and gave up after that!

Still – there was a time I’d have been very happy with my 22 minutes, so I’ll live with it.
