Sleep and Stress

Scientific study: Mostly things we knew already - if you get enough sleep and aren't stressed out, you lose more weight.

Still Running

I ran round another 5km after work. It was all through the park so up hill, down hill, in my lady's chamber.

I was passed by several other, much faster joggers and grinned at in a disturbing way by a cyclist. I went purple, but I did it.

It took 53 minutes, which is slower than of late, but I'm blaming gradient and tree roots and leering cyclists. Off for a shower now.

New Circuit Record

A quick jog round the original circuit took just 21 minutes. I am getting faster!

Big Feet

I managed another sub-45 minute run. I did 3 miles (5km) in 44 minutes. It was a bit of a shock, actually, when I went to this new gym. It was just for one session, as I was out of town. I jumped on the treadmill, cranked it up to the usual 6-7km/hr and thought I was going to die. I couldn't cope with the pace and ended up having to settle for a 4.4 speed. It was only after the first mile that I realised the machine was set to miles not kilometers! No wonder I was suffering!

I don't seem to have gotten any lighter, but one of my favourite spare tyres seems to be missing from around my waist. I don't know where it's gone. Maybe I'm going to end up with really big feet instead.
