At work today I bumped into a couple of colleagues, as I passed them one of them called out “you’ve lost weight” I smiled and replied “Thank you”. 

“oh it’s not a complement, you look ill” he replied.

This made his friend laugh.

I just nodded and carried on my business.

I have lost weight, over 2 stone in fact but this is since May and it has been down to hard work with my running and eating better. I am now a healthy weight.

I don’t blame him, he is actually usually a nice guy but it seems in our nature to be negative, I have been guilty of this in the past but it’s not until it’s done to you that you realise how stupid that attitude can be.

Today was a 5 mile easy run.

Todays run was great, It was a little chilly to start but I soon warmed up.

Listening to my music I ran 5 miles in 46.11 minutes with a 9:13 average pace.

I so hope the weather stays this nice for as long as possible because you just can’t help but smile as you run in nice weather 🙂

I got an email from the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, They are going to send me a running vest for my Marathon which is fantastic.
