Macgirl's "Stop Procrastinating and Get on with it" Diary

macgirl

I'm back! Really enjoyed it and managed a PB of just over 58mins :j:j:j
I had to stop to tie my laces on the way out and needed a "Paula Radcliffe" on the way back which slowed me down a bit. But it was a lovely morning - perfect for running and I'll definitely do it again.

I'm totally motivated now to lose a stone before May and aim for sub-56.
Hope you're having a nice day if you're reading

Hi MacGirl

Stumbled across your diary and then noticed your entry about a 10k race.

I used to do a lot of running myself, my last race having been the London Marathon in
about 1998, which finished on a sour note...I keeled over after having just crossed the finishing line and woke up the next day in hospital.

Decided last week to start my running again as I used to really enjoy it so setting my sights on doing a 10k before end of year. Would like to do another marathon to "cancel out" the last one but first things first...

Well done on getting your PB :T

Thanks Hun! I told my BiL who's an Ironman/Marathon veteran and he said "Why didn't you just pee in your pants like all serious runners?"
Don't think I'm ready for that just yet.....

Hi Chris :hello: and thanks for stopping by!
You have my total admiration for attempting a marathon, it's definitely not for me. I'm sure you could do it again - so awful to get so close to the finish - hope you were ok?! I certainly have the bug now and have been buzzing all day!
I look forward to hearing of your progress

Hi BTD - Yep, no catches. It is free for 5 days, then you have to pay. I got a deal £24.99 for 6 months, but it is usually £34.99. There are other packages. I can only say that many people in our office have done it for months and have been very successful in both losing weight and been motivated to exercise regularly. So I would highly recommend it

Hi Hopeful :hello: Hope all's well with you x

Well this evening has not gone to plan.
I intended to list the rest of my Ebay things - having missed the free listing yesterday - I fell asleep :mad: - but really cannot be a*sed.

My Mum called round just as I had walked in and was making dinner for the kids so I was too tired/stressed/busy to sit and chat - so now I feel very guilty

Still haven't eaten, but need to have something healthy, so I don't fill up on bread and butter (which I would love to do!)

The plus side it that I got up at 5.35am :eek: to do my Blast Off DVD :j before work - so I am feeling slightly virtuous, though really want to lose a stone before my next 10k in May.

Right off to eat salad and watch Eddie Izzard running marathons on iplayer - night!

Nelmer

I watched Eddie Izzard....it was brilliant, fair play to that man!...and all you other runners!
