Nine weeks of running every day. I ran 84.38 miles in June, furthest I’ve ever run in a single month. Nine weeks of keeping up my step count. I averaged 12,478 steps a day including my run, so that’s a […]
Day 63, Not too busy.
It’s been hectic. I’ve been up to my eye balls in stuff, so unfortunately the blog has suffered. The good news is that I’ve gotten used to running, so much so, that I’ve still been out every day for my […]
Day 51, Falling off the wagon.
Feeling very bloated today, don’t feel sorry for me though because you see, it’s my fault. Hangs head in shame. I had a sandwich last night. A white bread sandwich, well actually it was a fifty-fifty white bread sandwich so […]
Day 50, Excuses I’ve used, No 3.
“Targets!! ooh dear god no, I shan’t bother setting myself a target, I can’t stick to them. It always leads to failure and that’s so demoralising.” I had said this to myself before on many occasions, but I think the […]
Day 43, Week six.
I’ve completed six weeks and I’m feeling pretty good. An unexpected positive to come out of my challenge is the improvement in my skin. I had noticed a change a couple of weeks in but I wasn’t sure it would […]

Day 28, Surprised it took so long.

Day 23, Ups and downs.
Damn it! I was pissed off this morning. I went to put on a skirt I wore last summer and it wouldn’t go over my rear end!! Three weeks damn it! Three weeks of hard work and I couldn’t even […]
Day 22, Three weeks in, all’s well.
Despite the heat I finished my third week on a high with a five mile run on Tuesday evening, I even managed to time it so that I could enjoy the setting sun on my cool down walk. Legs are […]
Day 15, So far so good.
Wow! I have the biggest smile on my face because I’ve done two weeks. Yep, two whole weeks of out every day. I think my attitude is changing a little. I started out knowing I needed to do something and […]
