keep fit

I bruised my heel playing basketball which stopped me from running for a week and a half. I went and got some gel insoles and some voltarin and with the help of both of those I can run again. I ran yesterday and today, its a little frustrating that not only have I lost a little fitness but also I’m less sure of how hard I can push myself so I’m going to have to learn that again, but it feels great to be running again.

Other fitness news is that I’m going to go and swim some laps tomorrow night which I’m really looking forward to, I enjoy swimming but haven’t been for months but dad has access to a gym with lap pool so it works out great.

I’m happy to report I’m still doing really well with this goal. I’m really getting into running now. I started running just a couple of km’s and now I’m running 5km in about 20 minutes and 10km in about 43 minutes which I’m really happy about, even better I’m about to join a local running club to keep me motivated and improving and even bettererererer I’m starting to get a runner’s body, which I never thought i’d get which is also pretty cool. The best things about running has been the beautiful tracks I can run on and the great feeling of exhasting myself and improving over time.

Well as I expected I’ve been slack over the christmas and new year break and haven’t been to the gym in 3 weeks. I’m starting to get a little “pudgy” again and more importantly I don’t have as much energy as I used to have. So today I went back to the gym promising myself to go every day this week while I’m on holidays to kick start my return to fitness. Then when I get back to work I’ll go back to 3 days a week again.

Wish me luck!

I feel heaps better after getting fitter and losing weight, now I just have to keep up the discipline of going to the gym to stay in shape.
