Busy exercise week! Week 7 started on Tuesday. Then I did Strength and Flex on Weds evening! Then a hard yoga class yesterday evening, which was supposed to be a nice return after a summer break ... not so ... all my muscles and several I didn't know I had ached this morning ... but this evening I returned home so stressed and foggy-minded that I knew a run would clear the brain, despite the physical aches. So off I went with the knowledge that even a jogette would help, and lo and behold week 7 run 2 was completed with the help of Craig Charles and Jo Whiley and a crowd of people sitting outside a pub.
I've absolutely no idea how I'm going to get out of my sports straitjacket*, though. It hurts to raise my arms!
*also I'm downgrading the Bounce rating to a 4, it's already getting less ...restraining ... time for even more bra-gain hunting

Well done... maybe ease up a tad and be kind to yourself! Slow and steady does it... I have the Under Armour bras.. three of them... the best out there
Ahah, but more exercise is me trying to be kind to myself! I do need to sort out a reasonable timetable though. Still trying to decide when to exercise and how much in the morning and when to do it in the evening - it does "set you up" for the day, but also an evening run is good for clearing the day's frustrations.
The yoga class is my usual, but after a 4-week summer break (how dare our teacher go on holiday!) it was just a tiny shock to the system, especially my upper body which hasn't gotten any exercise over August. See, if I'd been doing S&F over that break as I'd intended to maybe I wouldn't have felt it so much...
Brilliant that you got out there... please don't tell me we have to redo the BRAFTAs so soon?
Really useful thank you. Like the bra recommendations thanks Oldfloss. Also made me think I about combining exercise. When do you rest if you are running three times a week and doing other forms of exercise? I would like to combine with running. I'm on holiday with no bike so I can run three times a week at the moment. Thanks for any help!
I think I'm resting (physically) today and maybe tomorrow too! Nothing more strenuous than some floor-mopping and walking around the supermarket. Started the day with a couple of yoga twists and breathing exercises, nothing more than just to get moving and get my thoughts in order.
Seriously though it's amazing how my legs aren't suffering - the running must have done them good - it's just my arms, shoulders, collarbone...
I like the idea of being cheered on by a pub! I paid £17 for an M&S sports bra which keeps everything in place and then some.... only trouble is you have to be Houdini to get in and out of it.
I made my route well-lit but tried to avoid running by a lot of traffic, so I went past pubs and tram stops! I was a bit self conscious ... my town on a night out doesn't have a great reputation!
I agree I have a marks one ,had it 2 year and still going strong I'm going to get another me thinks ,I must say mine must be a different style as it's quite easy to get on and off
