The next challenge..
September 9th, 2008
So the walk is over… now I need a new challenge. I am in serious danger of slipping back to my old ways. Y’see I haven’t actually been to the gym since a week on Friday (that was August still!!) and ok I have been swimming and have done some toning work and the 14 mile walk (can’t forget that!!) but I haven’t actually done any serious cardio.
So the next challenge will be the couch to 5km 9 week challenge (as inspired by Katy!!) So tomorrow I will go down the gym and do the first session of the C25km. I will post my progress for this in a seperate page on my blog.
Hmmm, guess i’m gonna have to blog my food diary again as well. Where oh where has my will power gone?!

Hey you! I’m so glad you’re signing up to C25K! The gym is a good place to start, but I’d really recommend trying to find somewhere outside. I’ve done running in the gym before and hated it because you just count the seconds. But when I’m outside I enjoy it and feel like I’m really *doing* something, rather than pounding away on a treadmill in a gym.
Realistically, it’s totally the same thing, but it just feels different
I hope this helps you find your new motivation, but everyone has a slump from time to time. Maybe take a couple of days off? Some days really are hard work, but in time it will be easier. That’s what I’m hoping for! Good luck *positive vibes*
