Marathon Training – Day 52

Smashed it (as some of the judges on the X Factor might have said!) in training today. Spent a full 45 minutes on the cross trainer varying the speed and the resistance. Shed a whopping 715 calories in the meantime and felt absolutely great after it. There’s a lot to be said for the great feeling you get after a good workout. There’s still so far to go and so much to do that it seems a bit hollow to be counting a good 45 minute session on a cross trainer as such a success. In should really be doing that, plus bike work, plus running in one session. But it’s still good progress and I’m still delighted to have gotten back in the gym and had a good session in some way shape or form.

I need to get my diet back under control though. It’s all bread and junk food as far as the eye can see at the moment. I’m finding it a lot harder this month, partly because I’m not as motivated, and partly because I feel I can justify a worse diet on the basis that I’m exercising a lot more and can afford to take on more calories. I keep telling myself and come January I’ll leave all these bad habits. I’m lying to myself aren’t I? Still, lets call today a realtively great success!! Huzzah!!
