be fit and healthy

- a male’s waist circumference should be 1/2 his height.
- your number 2’s should be “fluffy floaters” not “stinky sinkers”.
- run for 25 minutes before the endorphins kick in.
- when buying packaged foods make sure sugars or fats never exceed 10% of the total.

I’ve not prioritised my health & fitness over the last month for a number of reasons (excuses).

Having been for a run on Saturday & again today, I am keen to maintain the momentum over the festive season.

Next run Thursday!

My blood pressure has been creeping up as bad habits creep into my life.

I want to get back under control.

I have struggled to get regular with my running since hurting my knee, but even though it was blowing a gale & raining, I went for a 5km & will continue to build back up my distances.

i thnk need a team sport. or a gym-buddy, anybody as long as we have no personal issues to talk about. just being and staying fit.

hmmm. it’s like saying i want to be alone when i work out…yeah that’s it. whatev.

After getting sick I have found it hard to get back into my running routine. Today I did 11 kms & really enjoyed it. I managed to keep to my 5 minutes k’s which seems to work for me at the moment.

Now to keep it up!

Managed to get the first 5kms in under 25 mins but slowed down & didn’t manage 6kms in under 30mins.

Still, felt invigorated for the whole day!

I pushed myself harder than usual again & managed to get 5kms in less than 25 mins which I was pleased with. Honey (the dog) enjoyed it too!

It’s been a week since my last run. My neck was sore & I felt lethargic.

I was determined to get back in the groove.

I managed 7kms in 35 minutes (just – heart rate finished on 188 bpm after a hard out sprint) & felt so damn fantastic for the whole day!

I went for a run this morning in the dark… we are past the shortest day now, but wouldn’t know it … there is a real bone-chilling cold in the air…

I love the dog’s enthusiasm in the morning & think “I want some of that”. By the end of the run I was warmer and in a great space for the day…
