Monday morning.....Andy left for London just before 6am this morning and is not back until Wednesday evening. He works so hard - I am so proud of him. His job is so demanding. Andy is the only person I know who works as hard as he does, is so dedicated and is intelligent and driven enough to do it! I miss him when he is not here. Just knowing he is in the house is better - knowing he is close....
So....today, I need to get on all my asbestos safety equipment on and get rid of this stuff once and for all!! I'm not sure I can do it in one go, but I need to try as I don't want to have to be getting in and out of the safety gear and possibly spreading asbestos dust around. so...wellies, overalls, mask, gloves and goggles...special bags....get in there get it off the walls and bagged up and to the tip with it all (after paying over £12 a bag to get rid of it).
I also want to run 10km as I didn't run on Friday - only did 5km on Saturday and didn't run yesterday.
Weight loss back down to 8lb after the weekend. Seems to be a theme - get to 10lb loss during the week and end up back down to 8lb after the weekend. So...I need to try harder! and stop ruining it at the weekend!!

So - I got kitted up and got most of the asbestos off and bagged up (although not sealed yet) apart from a piece under where the sinks were because it is full of screws I can't get out. Better to come back to it fresh, rather than try when I've just had enough.....
I had lunch, then took ages to get myself out for a run. I wondered how I would get on because I wasn't really feeling it....
Straight away I was walking more often and didn't do as well as last time on the hills. By 4km I was debating turning around and coming back - as it would be a shorter 8km run - but it meant coming back on the busy road - rather than the nice paths and country lanes I was almost at. I could feel a blister on my foot (always the same place)....I kept going knowing I'd have more down-hill runs now rather than up-hill. It was not easy....at about 8km, my other foot started hurting. This happens when my feet get too hot - the ball of my foot/toes start to burn and it's really painful. At 9km, I paused my watch and sat down on the grass and took my trainer off, massaged my foot and let it cool off. When I stood up to carry on that foot was okay, but my blister on the other foot really hurt!. I managed because I was almost home. Glad to be back - and still glad I did it! 28km ahead on my challenge and hopefully burnt some fat off from the weekend lol.
Might not be able to run on this for a few days....and my hip is hurting a bit too.....going to go and get in the bath me thinks.....
