The last update was on New Year's Eve...
Since then, I've been quite regular in my training. Or at least much more regular than previously.
New Year's Day was supposed to be a rest day, but actually Richard and me decided we were going to go to the gym.
I joined the abs and the spinning class.
It actually felt good to start the year the way you want it to continue.
Then on the Saturday, I went for a tabata class. For those that don't know what it is, it's an intensive class where you do an exercise for 20 seconds, then rest of 10, then 20 and 10 again.
I felt great coming out of the class. However, thanks to Lucy's job, my glutes are now totally activated, and as they have been lazy for some years since my car accident, I admit that I was walking like a duck the following day.
Forget my run, there was no way I could even lift my leg!
This week has been pretty busy, with lots of chats with potential clients who all had made New Year's resolutions to get fit, healthy and lose weight.
So planning was mega important.
Unfortunately I woke up on Tuesday with 2 swollen toes. It reminded me of when I was a child and had frost bites, but it wasn't as painful.
Still, I wasn't happy when I put my running shoes on, so I decided to see how things were going as I knew I had my short interval session on Wednesday.
The next day, it felt a bit better, so managed my session. It wasn't easy. 10x 60secs with 60secs rest.
Sounds easy, but it wasn't that easy.
And then today I went to the gym for a kettlebell class. Again, my glutes are burning, so hopefully I will feel OK tomorrow to go for a run.
Sunday, I am planned to go up to Manchester for a running workshop with Rachael. I don't know if I have to say that I'm looking forward to it or not. But will report back afterwards.
