Marathon Training – Day 43

40 minutes, 2828 strides and 630.2 calories later and I’m done. That’s enough exercise for today for me thank you very much. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much you dislike something. I used to have that problem with the cross trainer, but now I’m actually starting to quite like the thing! They say that happens when you start exercising, that you end up getting a bit hooked on it. I’m hoping that’s what’s happening, I know I’ve never lasted 40 minutes full throttle on the cross trainer before, success I say!

After 4 days off with my cold, that’s 4 days on the trot back in the gym, and feeling a bit more like I’m actually doing some marathon training.

On the negative, If I’m being totally honest, my diet has totally gone to shit. I had crisp sandwiches for lunch, and ate half a white sliced pan by the time I was done this evening, and I’ve been nibbling on chocolate treats and generally getting into the Christmas Spirit. I’ve been telling myself that it’s ok, and that I can let myself go for December and then reign it in in December. I know I’m kidding myself really, but I’m managing to convince myself it’s ok, so shut up!!

In other news I went for a blood test (as part of my general health check) and she took about 7 litres of blood (though that may be a slight exaggeration) which I thought was a little unnecessary. My arm is still sore now, almost 12 hours later. Bitch. Orla says I’m a wuss. Bitch

Take that Cross trainer!!
