Tonight i ran for 8km on the treadmill! I never thought I could run 200 metres, let alone 8km! I just love it, and my body is adapting, the clever thing! I used to be really sore after a long run, but this past week? Nothing! I think my body is expecting it. I've asked a lot from it in the past few months. I'm like, "Yeah, I know I've sat you on the couch for the past 12 years, and I've fed you whatever we felt like, and never got above a slow walk, but, hey, how about we NOW get moving again and I'm gonna deny you anything that you're craving". My body has risen to the challenge, and I'm so proud of it!
I'm going to slowly up the distance, as I head into my Fun Run season. I have the Bendigo Bank 10km at the end of Oct, the City to Sea in Nov, and I'm doing a 6km run in January. I can't describe the way I feel when I run. I think it's just that I've always aspired to be a "runner". I love the lean, fit physique that runners have, as well as the awesome feeling that it must be to know that your body is capable of covering such distance.
I'm keen to weigh in on Wednesday. I've lost 5kg thus far into my second round of 12wbt. I'd lost more at this point last round, but I realise that it gets harder to lose it, as you get fitter and closer to your goal. My goal is at the upper end of my healthy BMI. I could probably lose more past this point, but if it happens, it happens. I'm not gonna get stupid about it. I already feel amazing, but don't want to use that as an excuse.
I'm gonna do 50 laps of the pool tomorrow. My hubby told me tonight that his PB was 60 laps. Of course, I aim to beat that, in a few weeks! I used to swim all the time before I had kids, and I loved it. My gorgeous daughter has been churning up the laps with me, over the school holidays. I hope that, when she's old enough, we'll be going to the gym together.
