Nailed it again!! so feeling really good about myself.

It feels so good to be back on track.

Perhaps the break is what I might need every so often to keep me focussed on the end goal??

Funny what you occupy your mind with while running. Today I ran forming an opinion on the value of your big toe. For years I've read all about how our big toe defines us, it's what made us stand tall and walk etc etc but it's when you're running and you can feel the placement of your toe and then how it influences the rest of your foot as you run, that you truly appreciate it's value. Weird eh... 

While running I try and work out how fast I'm going over 100m and then what that means per km and it's funny how my brain just can't cope with maths lol 

I am trying to learn to find my pace by myself so that I can run at an even pace, rather than go hard out, then not cope and have to walk, I'm trialling songs in my head. So far the Irish Rovers - Wasn't that a party seems to keep me at the right stride - in my head I hear coulda been the whisky, mighta been the beer.... I tell ya, running really is some time to yourself you can think about anything lol

Ah well.. I'm feeling proud of myself and focussed on this next goal of getting under 90kg, it feels achievable and I am going to make it happen. Once that's achieved that'll be 19 kgs gone, I'll then set the next goal. I like these smaller achievable ones because they're more "here and now" and not way in the future. I tell ya, I am treating myself to a pedicure once it's achieved, running does not make my feet look very nice.
