I started the journey through the rest of my life, or "The Race for MY Life" when I was heading towards my 41st birthday. I walked the 5k race for life, and set about being able to walk/jog it in 2013. That hasn't happened, although I am still around 4 stone down, I've hit a few speedbumps, as my latest blog in depression illustrates. But I'm a determined wee bugger and in 22 weeks I'll be a Clyde-sider at Glasgow 2014. I'm intending to lose at least half of that 4 stone again, by then!

treadmill isn't doing it for me this time
so - decided to take myself out and pound the roads to "shame" me into doing it when I know there's a chance others are watching. Now - I know that's probably a load of rubbish - amost folk will be a)sleeping or reading papers on the buses that pass me b) sleeping or ogling page 3 in the vans that pass me and c) concentrating on driving not nodding off on the way o work in the cars that pass me. So once I got all that into my head - I only bloody well managed what I set out to do! What a boost! Wow! lamppost to lamppost alternate jogging/walking. 2.5k all in and I "jogged" half of it. I feel bloody magic! and home before 7am!! Not going to pretend it was a dawdle mind you - it was bloody hard. But the bottom line is I managed it. So now I know what I need to do. be able to run 4 times that amount in 3 months time. Definitely doable given how well I did scaling up the walking. I'll try this again over the weekend (although I'm out a lot this weekend) then start it 3 times per week next week and slowly start scaling it up. COME ON - YOU CAN DO IT!!
