I had a lovely week away in France with a couple of friends, where admittedly I pigged out and drank a bit more than I should have, but if you can't do that in the wine capital of the world, where can you do it??
Me with a mahoosive bottle of wine during a wine tasting tour - unfortunately I didn't get to keep it :p
I also really enjoyed my week at home visiting with family so, thanks to these chilled out couple of weeks and the over-indulgence I experienced during them, it has really set me up for getting back into my running routine! :) I actually kind of missed it!
I'm very pleased to say that despite several weeks out from running, I managed to complete not one but two runs this week! I wasn't expecting much from my first run because it had been so long but I was pleased to complete 1.52 miles. I felt like I had more energy on this run but just after the 1 mile mark I ran out of steam pretty quickly but it was definitely a start!
I had higher hopes for my second run of the week and it certainly didn't disappoint!! At 3.31 miles (5.33 km), I not only managed to completely smash my previous longest continuous run records but also achieved the official run distance of Race for Life, plus a little bit extra!! Suffice to say, I'm absolutely buzzing today and hoping the motivation will transfer to the uni work I've got to do for next week too!
With only 11 weeks to go (I know, I can't believe it either :o), I still have another £165 until I reach my target. I'm so so grateful to everyone who has donated so far and helped me reach 34% of my target but I would massively appreciate it if you could donate and help me reach that £250 mark :D Thanks so much guys!!!
Current total: £85.00
Countdown: 11 weeks (eeek!)
