first post christmas run... bits a- wobbling and nearly collapsed ... but at least I went out...!

[AuntieAli]

firstly --- I had a great Christmas - hope you all did too!

can tell I've had a few too many drinkie poos and goodies because everything was a wobbling when I went out tonight for my first run since Sunday!! wobbling more than usual!

I went out earlier than usual because I'm out babysitting two of my nephews in a bit. it wasn't dark and that's only the second time in doing this program that I've done that. evidence as to how your mentality changes in doing this program and being part of this community

boy oh boy oh boy was it hard work!! first run of w5 r2 went with a struggle but the second run was even worse! bloody hell fire! had to cut it short before I wouldn't be able to make it home am afraid. I didn't even have the energy to eat me secret sweetie-yep, it was THAT bad!!

but.. at least I went out and was off the couch

here's hoping the next run is easier

keep running everyone !!

These festive meals are killing me too! I really feel it in my runs after I've overindulged! Thing is, it really drives home the idea of food as fuel though and I've noticed I have tried (not always succeeded mind you) to be more careful with what I eat the night before a run... Good for you for getting out there!

Well done Ali!!! I feel like I'm carrying an extra ham or two along with me as I run! Way too many drinks and goodies here too! The main thing is, you're back at it and not sitting on the couch. You will be tired tonight after babysitting and chasing kids. Hmmm...I wonder if babysitting can be considered cross-training? Gayle

Well done you - very impressive that you've come back and can see the positives about your run. Definitely not a failure. Maybe you need to cut the pace a little bit more, so you can manage to consume the secret sweetie!

No secret sweetie???? BLOODY HELL FIRE, that was bad indeed!!!

I think that the Christmas spirit has been a bit of a blow to several of us. No complaints from me though, it is Christmas afterall!!

Well done on getting out there and giving it a go!! You will be running like a pro before you know it again!! Keep your chin up!!

Keep Running!!
