Back to the Gym!

Hello everyone! 


My hubby is finally back from his work trip to Dallas for 10 days. This trip meant I would have to juggle the kids a bit to get some runs in. The fact that the weather here hit 40ºc here in the second week he was gone meant there was no chance I would be doing any running. I could not bare the thought of taking my shoving my children in their pram and going out in that sort of heat. It was still 38ºc at 6.30pm which is almost their bedtime! Sheesh. Sometimes you just have to admit defeat...
Needless to say I was hanging out for hubby's return so I could hit the running HARD! 
However, I did stay active with some exercise DVD's that I did in the comfort of the air conditioning at home. But I also ate revoltingly whilst Hubby was away. I have the biggest guilts on for those fails :( 


No point in wallowing, onwards and upwards I say. I did a run today at the gym and smashed it! I did 5kms on the treadie which is awesome for me because I usually run terribly on the treadmill and I normally cut the run short with such a lack of mojo. But today I listened to my audio book "A Tiny Bit Marvellous" by Dawn French and giggled my way through my 10kph run with a 2% incline as well! So so so pleased with myself. 


I really can't wait to get outside on the pavement though. 


My current kms is now 370.8kms  Had I remembered my total I would have done an extra 0.8km to wipe that little pesky amount out! Next run I will do that :) 


My positive affirmation for you all today is 

I am happy with the way exercise makes me look and feel 

Come on, say it like you mean it!
