Slayed the dragon
Last night went better than expected so I feel like I have sleighed the dragon that has been tormenting me for some time..or at least it will lay low till the next battle!!Thanks for the supportive comments.
Afterwards I got on the trampoline for a workout which was a much better way to deal with the stress than eating. So exercise for yesterday was 60 minutes weight class, 15 min trampoline.
At training yesterday the trainer told me I had to go today and do my time trials. I said no way. I am so sore from getting back into the gym this week after a 10 day break. Also I haven't been training with running since I went to NZ except for an odd spurt....And had to be at Es tennis at 8am. Lots of excuses....Thought about it during the night when I wasn't sleeping and got up at 5am and off I went. The trainer had arranged to meet some people early which meant I could still make it to Ebs tennis on time. But then she didn't turn up!!!!! So I had a stop watch with me so I went on my own. I was slower than last Dec by 1.45 min but I was very pleased with that. My trainer just rang me to get my time and she was amazed first of all that I went and secondly that my time was "good" considering my lack of training and my soreness. So I have now committed to definitely compete in a 14.6 km event in April. I need to train for this as the other people from my group who want me to join their team are all runners!! This should help my motivation. Some people are doing the 5km but I knew that was not a big enough challenge for me so 14.6 it will be. I have been thinking about it for sometime and know I cannot run it all but if I walk and run it in time I will be stoked with myself. There is a time limit because they close the tunnel to traffic and you have to get through it before the re-opening time.
We are going out to dinner tonight with friends so have to be very strict with myself for the rest of the weekend.
Hope everyone has a happy weekend.
