After a fabulous 3 week holiday it was back to reality today!
After losing a nights due to the time difference I was exhausted when I eventually went to bed last night at 10pm, however my body clock had other ideas!
I slept well until 3am and then PING I was wide awake!
I got up and watched The Olympics until I decided to go back to bed at 5am for another nap!
Consequently, today has been a struggle! However, determined to not give in to sleep I did my holiday ironing and then pushed myself to go for my first run in 3 weeks!
After a very busy road trip around California which involved too much food washed down with too much alcohol combined with jetlag I was expecting to find the run a little challenging ... and I wasn't disappointed!
However, despite not feeling healthy I pushed myself and managed to do 4.7 miles at a 9.07 minute mile pace! Considering it was hot and windy it wasn't as slow as I had anticipated!!!
Just 5 weeks until my next Half Marathon so time to detox and get fit!
I am looking forward to having a goal to aim for!
Bring it on!
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!
