    I managed 6 more lengths tonight than last week, so 26 altogether. :T I'm sure this swimming must be doing me some good, but I'm completely shattered now! I think that I might just paint my nails before collapsing in bed.

    No 6am runs for me but I will be up at 5.30 again for work :( No rest for the wicked, and even less for the righteous, so my nan used to say!

    Thank you everyone for keeping me motivated and feeling like each small step is worth the effort :A

    Becca, you can reward yourself with whatever you like.

    I really cannot afford to put any money aside for the sparkle fund, not even 10p so I am not doing that. My rewards will be nice treats like a hot bath uninterrupted by anyone! And other nice treats I can think of.

    Icemice - well done hun! You will find as it gets easier you will be able to swim more and more. That is fab! I cannot go swimming without DS, so no real swimming for me, as he cannot swim yet.

    26 lengths is more than I can do!

    :T:T:T well done on the extra 6 lengths.

    I swim 3-5 times a week and I find its fab as an all round body shaper. I am up to 50 Lengths but I do not do 50 every time I swim. I did it by just adding 1 or 2 Lengths, every other time I swam. Swimming can wear you out, as its a whole body work out. Especially if you can get in some back stroke too. This is why I don't do 50 every day, Id be worn out.

    Attempting to sparkle from south west.
    Had another 6am run only just motivated for this one because my housemate has a lady friend over so had to get out!!! I say no more.
    Feel like faded sparkle tho because of room hunting stress and no start date for a new job and raging female hormones :(
    Hope everyone has a sparkly day and weekend

    Fab, how far do you run ?

    I am attempting the couch to 5k, as I am doing the race for life, I usually do it in about 55 minutes, fast walking but would like to take a bit of time off that.

    :)
