Tuesday

So - I didn't wake up until just gone 9am - so I actually, for the first time in ages got just over 8 hours sleep!

I eventually got up - to a dead mouse in the kitchen without a head!  and since then I have changed the cat litter and sorted the bins out and other than that I have sat at my laptop - and it is now lunch time.

I've just been chatting to lissa about not having an exercise plan - so I am going to do one.  I need to do more than just run if I want to get properly fit.  So I might do something like this:

Monday - Upper body and skipping circuit (Lissa's suggestion)
Tuesday - running club
Wednesday - abs/core and cardio (I can incorporate the exercises I need to do for running)
Thursday - my long run
Friday - legs, glutes - and maybe rower & bike a little bit
Saturday - park run
Sunday - naff-all

That means running wise I should do about - 8k Tuesday, 10k Thursday and 5k saturday - bring me to 23k a week - which is over the required amount for my challenge...and I also have a few 10k runs booked in on Sundays.  I also want to gradually increase my 10k long runs....if I get to 16k - thats 10 miles - and if I can get to 20k - thats a half marathon (almost - think I need about 21k for that).  But when I say gradual - I need an extra 1k on top every 3 weeks or so.

I also need to stop drinking so often and sort my diet out.  I will be better at all the exercise stuff if I could lose weight! BUT it's hard - I like food and alcohol lol

So.  What should I do for the rest of the day? Andy is in London and I have running club at 6.30pm.  Oh! I need to order a bathroom suite...decide what I am going to do with the floor and finish stripping the wall paper off the annex bedroom wall.  Once I have done the walls - I can get the plasterer in and then get a carpet - and sort that bedroom out.  We realised this weekend when ppl stayed over that the first choice for a room to stay in is the 4 poster room (obvs) but then second choice in the annex bedroom - with the attic last on the list! So it would be good to get that bedroom sorted - and when the bathroom is sorted too - that'll be awesome - and if Connor stays a while i'd like to have seperate bathrooms.  So I feel good that progress is being made again.  I suppose I should order the bathroom stuff and then go do some stripping!
