    So, seeing as last week wasn't great, I'll try again ... Hal Higdon 10k training - Take Two!!! :o

    I'm off work for the next couple of months to study, and I have no distractions for the next while (unlike the past month, when I had loads of stuff on), so hopefully I can get into a proper routine now, both for exercising and for studying.

    Week One - Monday - Stretch and Strength

    Did a Pilates workout using this DVD. It was tough! :eek: Felt pretty good after it though.

    Week One - Tuesday

    2.5 mile run (well, 4k!), 28:47 minutes. I think I'm getting even slower! :o

    Week One - Wednesday

    50 minute swim. Can't believe it - I actually remember how to swim?! :confused: :pac:

    Can't afford pool membership, so won't be able to do much swimming really, unless I get a wetsuit. Still though, it was fun. :) Really feeling it in my tummy muscles now, I'm guessing that's a good thing! :)

    Catching up on the past few days! :o

    Week One - Thursday

    Two mile run (or slightly more, didn't bring my Garmin) and then some Pilates

    Week One - Friday

    Day off

    Week One - Saturday

    Cross training - found myself a wetsuit and went swimming, in the sea, in the rain. It was sooooo much fun!!! Need to get a wetsuit that actually fits though.

    Week One - Sunday

    Meant to be a 3 mile run, but ended up for various reasons not being able to do it yesterday or today.

    So tomorrow, I'm going to do my 3 mile run, along with the Stretch & Strength I was meant to be doing today. And then start Week Two Day One on Wednesday.

    Not ideal but what can ya do!

    Yesterday did my 3 mile run. It's so hard using miles instead of km because, while I'm running, I keep expecting to have done a lot more than I actually have, if that makes any sense! :o The kilometres just tick by so much faster! 33 minutes (in or around that - I forgot to press the stop button on my Garmin!)

    Also did my Pilates DVD yesterday (which I'm counting as Stretch & Strength.)

    So that brings me to Week Two, Day Two of the plan. 2.5 mile run this evening.
