Arse. So no cardio work for the next 4 days then, that can be taken as a given. But today is 1 January 2010, and that means a month of detox with no junk food or crisps, or alcohol. Eeek. It’s not quite a full month, because Orla’s cousin and her boyfriend are coming over to stay with us on 28 January, so I’m going to do to then without any bad stuff, then let myself have a few (a lot) of drinks when they are over.

I’ve also started doing ABs work, because I’ve been told that strong abs is a really important aspect of marathon running. I found a really cheesy 8 minute abs workout video on youtube. It’s from 1994 and it’s cheesy as hell, but I’m going to try and do it every day for the month of January and see if I see any improvement. If so I’ll keep going, if not I’ll back it in. Just need to be sure I don’t end up injuring my back trying to do them exercises!

That's me that is....

That’s the lot!
