This is a journal type blog entry, rather than a cleverly developed argument or discussion. Because I just can’t be fucked.
I went to see Tuba Skinny again last night and stayed up too late and it was all fun. Except I got quite tired by the end because I had had a [...]

I’m back running, desperate to get some serious exercise during the christmas dancing drought. So far it’s going well, except today I did run [...]

Kicked. My. Arse.
Should probably have gone running _before_ walking, and in the morning when it was cooler.
But still, didn’t stop and got as far as last time.

_Finally_ feel as though I have this running thing back under control. Slow run is slow, though.
Weather: cloudy, windy
feeling: 4/5 effort: 4/5 distance: 3.8km, time: 0:28, pace: 7:22, calories: 363
Ridiculously slow time. But felt a _lot_ easier. I’m going to get back up to speed slowly.
Weather: sunny
duration: 00:28, pace: 07:46, calories: 363, effort 5/5, distance: 3.6km, feeling good
Sooorest calves, probably a result of dancing last night.
Still having trouble breathing. Stupid freekin allergies.
This would be easier if I did it three times a week instead of twice. Not happy with my speed, but I figure it’s [...]
feeling: 5/5 effort 5/5 duration 0:39, distance 4km, pace 09:45, calories 506
Started the Ease into 10k program.
Ran later in the day (for obvious reasons) and while the consequences of a christmas-without-rules made it a bit of a challenge, the really difficult bit was breathing – I’m still having allergy troubles. STILL. But [...]
feeling 4/5, effort: 5/5 distance 4.4 km duration 00:30 pace 06:49, calories 389
Surprised myself by finishing an entire 30 minute run without having to stop and walk. Think I’m finally getting it together again, fitness wise. It’s taken three weeks, which isn’t as quickly as I’d like, but I figure what counts is [...]
feeling: good, distance 4.6km, pace 10:52, effort 5/5, calories: 649
Started out doing a usual run but realised that I just wasn’t up to it. Not feeling all that fit at the moment, it’s hot, new shoes, etc etc meant that I couldn’t face a full on run. So I flicked through the c25k runs [...]
feeling: good, duration: 00:27, pace: 05:24, calories: 350, distance: 5km
Kicked. My. Arse.
I have no idea how I managed to break 5km in 27 minutes when I’ve been struggling with 30minutes. And two days of shocking allergies, starting my period today and a late afternoon heat made it a HARD run. But [...]
