I woke up this morning feeling decidedly under the weather.
Thinking it was due to the excess of food and drink over the holiday period I decided to see if I could run it off!
It was a very, very windy morning but thankfully it was dry!
I set off with a short route in mind and tried not to think about how heavy my legs felt or how hard my heart was beating and just focused on running.
I was pleased when my house came into view and I hadn't thrown up or collapsed! I managed a very tiring 4.2 miles at an average 9.17 minute mile pace! My run can be viewed on Garmin Connect here!
I can't say I enjoyed my first run of the year but I am proud that I did actually get out there and run!
However, it didn't have the desired effect! I have felt sick ever since!
A great start to the New Year!
So I have decided ... Enough is enough!
I believe my body is begging me to save it from all the toxins currently having a party in my bloodstream! After what feels like weeks of over-eating and over-drinking I have decided to be a little kinder to my body and fill it with healthy food and lots and lots of water!
I have come to realise a healthy body feels better than a bottle of Prosecco tastes!
Bring on a cleaner living, healthier, fitter me!
My main concern is I have a Half Marathon to run on Sunday and my Triathlon plan starts on Monday!
YIKES!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
