    Didn't run last night, so will go to gym this evening whilst girls at music. Still don't feel as effective at work but slowly getting there. Have lots of things planned so hoping I achieve.

    Good morning everyone.

    Managed a nice slow 40 min run, just over 3 & 1/2 mile. Tired so may be an early night tonight. Hoping my thighs and chest don't pay me back tomorrow..

    Thanks SS, as usual my ability to moderate is a little dodgy.. ran 60 minutes tonight... My confidence in doing 10k is definitely returned. May not be able to walk tomoz..

    60 minutes is fab. You are definitely on your way towards 10k!

    Thanks cathT, day off today, so been to gym and had 65 minutes on cross trainer as thought 3 days running may be too much.
    The best thing about exercise is the ability to eat more...

    Absolutely. I am also at target weight and for me it's just about toning and overall fitness. I have won some free day passes to the gym and was debating just swimming but extra cardio sounds tempting too. I was chatting to a colleague today about how when you get back into exercise you find yourself thinking 'I wonder when I can go for a run again?'

    Shred for me tonight, have actually missed it but only did level 2 as it's much more manageable!

    Yes cathT, I've been looking at training plans as such a short time to 10k. Am trying to take it steady but equally need to get speed up. I swam last Sunday to mix it up. Depending on finish time, hoping to get a short run in tonight.
