It's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why you need really fab shoes!

OK (ish) day and I am home at a reasonable time

Found a 10k training plan online so I plan to go to the gym tomorrow and get started with that. It's a 10 week plan and I've got longer than that so should be doable

Spends have been the £26 race fee and £15.33 in Asda. That got me food through to Thursday and a couple of toiletry bits so not too bad! Total spend of £41.33, leaving a balance of £258.67 from my £300 target

No workout tonight but I have eaten well today and am planning a a bit of telly and early night tonight

Exciting on the 10K SG, I'd love to do something like that but hate running. Are you doing it for charity or just for the sheer [STRIKE]torture[/STRIKE] pleasure of saying you've done it?

And yeah to pay-day!

I have never run in my life - even avoided it at school :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but was shamed into it by the charity aspect :eek:

How about the "couch to 5k" thing? That's always intrigued me, you could work up to 10k after

I think what I have found is similar, a walk/run combo to start - it's from Zest mangazine

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: can't think why, but you're not the first to say that!

Spends of £2 for lunch and £5.89 Co-op for a salad and a magazine. Total so far £48.22, remaining balance £251.78

Not much else to report today, have eaten well but got home too late for the gym so planning an early night

Massive well done for signing up for the 10k:T good on you!
I cant run :rotfl: seriously, I cant but was looking into signing up for the 5k in June. Even thinking about it has tired me out! But its something I've always wanted to achieve so I really should just go for it. ALso cheap way to tone up and get fitter .

Right lovely, you can either buy lunch every day out at £2 which equals £40 a month of working days or just under a sixth of your budget or you can use that £40 for something lovely and just buy soup 5 for £2 or bread for your own wee sarnies from home. Just an idea but that really helped me. I dont think work lunches really enhance my life greatly so decided that the money would be better spent on other, more exciting things. XXX
