Working 45 hours a week and training to run a half marathon has made life pretty hectic. I am so thankful that its getting lighter outside because this means I will be able to road run on week nights.
Progress so far is going well, my run app indicates I have ran a total of 26 road miles since the beginning of February and my longest runs are two sets of 7 mile runs. My poor feet are getting a bit tired now so I tend to aim for one big run a week and two little runs in the gym if at all possible in the week. I'm working out 3-4 times a week at the moment and weirdly really enjoying it. On top of my half marathon I am going to enter for a 10K run at the start of April to give me an experience of running at an event and of course raise some money for charity.
I have been pretty awful at setting up a Just giving page at present, in fact I did it today in the office link but I have some fundraiser ideas involving a weekend full of baking in order to raise some sponsorship for Dementia UK.
All this running really has toned me up and my boyfriend even commented that I "looked good" the other week which is remarkable as sometimes I'm sure if I wore an alien head he wouldn't notice....god love him.
On top of this I have a million and one things to save for:
My dads birthday- March
- My boyfriends birthday- AprilMy brother birthday- April Car tax-MayCar Insurance- July
Holiday of a lifetime involving 6 weeks traveling Asia- May-July
I have a little note pad in which I have written down all of the above things I need to save for and a guideline of how I'm going to do it. Saving setbacks happen and I haven't put myself in debt or in a position where I wont be able to save for all of the above things so my little hiccup is partially justified in my mind!
All in all I cant wait for the weather to heat up a little more and its only 10 weeks until I go to Asia for 6 weeks, I'm super busy but feeling really positive about whats around the corner.
What are your current goals?
