I have just ordered a bottle. Hope it gets here soon as I'm looking forward to using it ,I am meant to be doing a run today but have just finished work, the baby is crying its pouring with rain and I don't know if I can face it

Claudie

Perhaps after baby in bed and children settled you may feel more like a quick walk round the block. My friend has 4 children aged 5 and under - never mind giving the kids a time out, I think she goes out for her own quiet time.

I would but other half away for the week so it is either with baby or not attall. Might try and do an exercise dvd instead.
I know if I do something tonight I will feel much better

Claudie

DH away - 4 children - evening alone -- sleep I say! Watch your own telly shows for an hour and go to bed v v early :O) Exercise will always be there tomorrow and no doubt you do your fair share of going.

Well it is rainy and windy and cold so I did my 30 minutes indoors - repititions of 2 minutes cross trainer and 2 minutes thigh trainer. I can definitely see an improvement in ability now. I couldn't do 10 minutes weeks ago so I am chuffed.

And I decided to actually ask for sponsorship for RfL this year. Most years I don't ask as almost everyone I know is racing but I have £65 so far which is great.

The Running Made Easy book is back at play.com for anyone who is interested - £7.49 inc delivery.

Well I have just written off this week as Just finding it too exhausting to fit it while being on my own with the kids, I really hate running with baby in the pram and I can't do it when its raining with her anyway.
Have decided to start again with week 4 on Sunday as other half yet again going away for the start of next week.
On the positive I recieved my bottle from wiggle.com anyone thinking about ordering with them should as their delivery is v.fast .

Claudie

Hi trinny, I wouldn't worry too much about a little break - it can be a nightmare scheduling time to yourself when you have a DH around but it must be impossible on your own.

The wiggle delivery time was fab, I will certainly use them again - free delivery good too.

2nd of July.. I've been training since Feb.. and still have away to go.. but I done my FIRST 3mile run today!! In the rain.. and I'm sooooo chuffed!! :j Managed it in 39 mins.. If I can get it under 30 I will be over the moon!!!

I need to lose 1 stone in weight too.. as I want to do an indoor sky dive with the bf for he's bday and I'm over the maxium.. more incentive to keep going as he' bdays not til Oct!!!

Claudie

k9cuddles that is fantastic! Did you run the full 3 miles or are you running /walking? I am just about managing my 2 minutes of each and still find it v v hard, I am sure I'll get there but can't imagine ever running even for 3 minutes.

You have done so well - your BF and your Mum must be proud.

Haven't heard of indoor skydiving but it sounds adventureous!
