This week seems to have flown by. Well aside from the work-related portions of the week that dragged a little/lot. Today was the 75th anniversary of VE Day and a Bank Holiday. There may have been cake for lunch today…

Today was also the final run of the week 3 of C25K! It was quite jolly warm out and I was worried this would make me tire more quickly. But today’s run was actually fun. The second 3min running block was hard work but I am running faster and feeling better with each run. The old legs seemed good today, no muscle cramps or tightness. Even my shins were good. Hopefully that means they are getting used to the impact of running and I can stop thinking about that and concentrate on breathing and avoiding all the bugs! 😀

I also finally told people I’m running again. Not sure why I was keeping it to myself. I think I was worried I wouldn’t keep it going and they would be disappointed in me. Now though I feel like I have slotted my runs into my (new) normal weekly routine. Even today with no work I still went for my run at the same time. Didn’t even think about skipping it. This is good progress for me, yay!

Gonna start adding in some strength training now. Slowly at first and then see how it goes. So tomorrow I plan to do the upper body workout from 21 Day Fix. I like that one and it’s not too intense on the legs. Then Sunday I’m gonna try and do some yoga / apps and stretching. At least that’s the plan…
