So many of you were being supportive of my running and weight loss and I didn't know. An update is due, I feel. I'm running 5k this Sunday morning as part of the Run to the G. I'm a bit nervous, but last night I ran just under 5k in 32 minutes, so I know I can do it. I nearly threw up from the effort, but I'll just take it a bit slower next time!

Monday night was my first night at my new running club. I've signed up with Sporting Spirit for their beginners 10k 10 week sessions. Monday night was strength training. Shall we just say I haven't got any? The plank, for those who don't know, is an excercise where you support your body in a straight line, or plank, on your toes and forearms. Ow. Ow. Ow. Trainer says, "try for a minute". I reckon I lasted about 10 seconds before caving. And pushups. And squats. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Wednesday was better. Just a run. I tried to push myself by running with someone a bit quicker, and it worked for about 20 minutes, until I had to slow up. Still, pretty good going.

I put on 0.6kg a couple of weeks ago at Weightwatchers. Entirely due to having to weigh in my shoes now - I asked her to weigh them and they were 0.6kg. In total now I've lost 3kg, (but really 3.6!). I reckon I'll be pretty near goal by the time I reach the dreaded three zero.

That's if I don't do what I did this lunchtime too often, and have a footlong meatball sub, cheddar cheese and all the salad and eat it all in one sitting!
