The weekend went fairly well. I manage to go for walks and get my steps in and didn’t eat too much rubbish. I did feel the urge to snack a lot on Saturday but thankfully I had very little snack-worthy food in the flat (and have tried not to buy more) so I managed to abstain.

I did a weigh-in this morning just to see if one week of running had any effect. I’m down about a pound and a half. Probably too early to tell if that’s just my normal fluctuations or actual change. Doing C25K isn’t really about weight loss for me at the moment. I’m concentrating more on just getting fitter and staying active. Still down is better than up so I’ll take it as a mini-win.

Today was the first run of C25K week 2. The running bits were longer than last week but then so were the rest/walking periods. It was tough going as expected. It helped that I found a big field to run round with no people so I didn’t have to think too much about where I was going or who else was around. It felt about as tough as run 1 last week. So I’m hoping that it will get easier as the week goes by like last week did. I guess that’s the aim of the program.

Runs 2 and 3 this week might be slightly more challenging if only because it’s supposed to rain for the rest of the week 🌧 I’m guessing that the woods I’m currently running in will get very muddy in the rain so I may have to find roads to run down instead. Or maybe it will be quiet enough in the park to run there.
