Yesterday ended up being a rest day because we had a great family day out at the races and I was so pleased with myself because I only drank water and I only ate a little cheese (no crackers) and some bacon and egg out of the bacon and egg pie - no icecream, dips etc etc. Got home and had to pack the kids for their trip away for 3 weeks, so I decided that would be my rest day.

So today was day 3 of week 3 of my running training. The running is getting much better so I'm really pleased about that. so it was 5 mins brisk walk as a warm-up, 90 secs running, 90 secs walking, 3 mins running, 3 mins walking, 90 secs running, 90 walking, 3 mins running, 3 mins walking and 5 mins wind down.

I had the i-pod cranked up on random shuffle and by coincidence when I got to the running sections Welcome to the Jungle came on and then ABBA's So Long - both with great beats for 3 mins of running lol, then the likes of Roger Miller's Engine, Engine number 9 was just right for 3 mins of walking (don't judge me for my eclectic taste in music haha) It's amazing how energizing it is when you find songs you know and you can really get into to, although singing along is confined to in my head, cos the puffing makes me very tuneless...
