Week 2 - At least I ticked all the boxes of getting out 4 times this week. My sister joined me on Monday morning for a "light" jog. Her idea of "light" and mine are two different things. She runs 18 miles a week and does yoga as well ao I struggled to keep up at times. My pace definitely went under 10 minutes per mile for that one.

I have been lucky with the weather, Tuesday and Thursday were dry, cold mornings but anything is better than the wind and rain. Saturday was nice too and I did my long run then.

I found it tough going but got through it after taking a one minute walking break after 4 miles. Also I stopped eating carbs on Thursday! Not sure if this is sustainable but the paleo diet looks interesting, I started on the Dukan but the lack of fruit and nuts is too much for me. Potatoes are allowed on the paleo if you are training and I had to eat some today.

Still though I lost 4lbs this weekend, so there has to something in it. I will probably mould the diet to suit my own needs so it won't be paleo per se but once I can avoid the sugars and the "Bad" carbs it should work.

What's in a name anyway.

Weekly total:

3 x 3.5 miles
1 x 5.5 miles
