Oh I'm pleased! I have run my longest run for about the last 10yrs - woo hoo!

Anyway, better get back the assignment and make more of a start

Well I went and did it.

I registered for the half marathon and I'll be working up steadily to the full distance. Aiming for 7miles this weekend if possible. Pleased I've done it and I keep swaying between believing I can run it and not believing I can. Makes a change though as before I would never believed I could do it and now I can! Had a nice chat with a friend today about exercising and how it helps to find something you enjoy and also allowing yourself the time to do it and realising what you can fit in to half an hour instead of sitting on the TV

Better crack on with the assignment now and do some work - boo!

Well I got weighed today and have put on 2lbs over Christmas. Not too worried really as I think it will disappear again soon. I lost my rosette but it will be back again I'm sure! I would like to lose between 9lb and 12lb to arrive somehere close to 9st 10lb and 9st 7lb. Funny how those 2 extra pounds make me feel its quite a long way off than it did before they rearrived.

Anyhow, I took my measurements and have lost half an inch more from my waist to get it almost to the 30" waist I've been aiming for since I started and another half an inch from my chest which is disappearing!

So you win some and you lose some - put 2lb on and lose an inch!

Usual routine today for dog walk and then hoping to get back out running again tomorrow and juggle this with the assignment as I refuse to stop doing something I enjoy to do something much less enjoyable!

No running today as for some reason just didn't feel like it today - must be the assignment deadline that is looming rapidly in reality and in my head. Never mind, its on its way to completion - around 1/3 now totally rewritten and much better than the first time around.

Might try and go for a run tomorrow and get some fresh air along with lots of studying and some chores and more studying. Attempting another 1/3 tomorrow which is at least 2 more sections completed and referenced.

Happily a NSD today and might get another one tomorrow if all goes to plan and I put on a loaf to bake and go shopping on Sat instead of tomorrow. In fact I think I will do this and then work out exactly what I need and stick to the list alongside taking the boots back that don't do up over my calves so only £29.99 spent instead of £107 when the other pair ordered were too big so one new pair instead of 3

Could still do with a new pair of work shoes and a pair of brown ankle boots with a heel. I'll gve up on knee high boots for a bit longer and see if my calves trim down a bit but I don't think they will as I've always had this problem even when I was a lot lighter!

Today is going to be a NSD today

Today I will take the dog on a nice long walk - past all the fallen trees from the winds, not just my fence that fell down around here.

I will go for a run too and decide on whether its a long one or a short one later

I will study from 9.30 - 11.30 which is typing up what I've written and writing some more and then have a break then study for another 2hrs this afternoon

Seriously need to keep on diet track now but finding it hard to keep going with all this going on - hoping to keep to some sense of normality over stress and anxiety!

Did it all!

Plenty of studying done and about 2/3 done now - typing up tonight's job

Went for a long run 7miles for the first time. Halfway there on the miles now. Boy am I tired now after that stodgy slow plod of a run. Glad I did it and really hope some sprintiness returns soon. Deffo a day off tomorrow to recover!

And second best of all as the run was the best of all - NSD 4 today

fedupandskint

3/4 finished writing assignment before endless referencing tomorrow and a big tidy up and cutting section too. Hope to get last section written tomorrow then cut out what's not needed and a lot of referencing on sunday

pretty tired now so off I go to return tomorrow
