30 Minute Tempo run

/ Dave / 1 Comment

Wow it’s another cold afternoon, 4º outside!

Had a lovely sleep, felt well rested when I woke up, lost another 1.6lbs which I like.

I ate the same breakfast as yesterday – oats with strawberry and the send half of yesterdays banana (might as well use my wife’s strawberries up before she eats them all).

I wrapped up warm again, remembering to put my rain coat in my rucksack just in case…It did not rain and the temperature was just right with all the extra layers I was wearing.

6 Mile Steady run

Wednesday 9th January 2019

I woke up today way too early with cramp in my calf muscle and a crook neck, I could not get back to sleep after that so I lay in bed reading my email until it was time to get up, I still feel ok though, Lets hope it stays that way.

I am down another 1.2lbs from yesterday which is another bonus.

My favorite meal – breakfast, I started the day with a lovely bowl of oats with strawberry and banana, It tasted fantastic and gave me plenty of energy for my run.

Before my run I had doubts as to if I can complete it at a good pace but I was really pleased with my run, I kept a very good pace and really enjoyed my run.

At 5º it was cold out, I wrapped up warm and out I went.

So after the run it was on to cooking the dinner, Chilli con carne on half a baked butternut squash with kale and brussels sprouts and cabbage (my family had rice). I ate a massive meal and now I am stuffed 🙂
