On Saturday night I went to a champagne party. It was lots of fun and as well as drinking a fair amount of champagne, I also ate a hefty chunk of brie, and it was good brie.
The party hosts said that they were planning to run the Blyth 10k at the end of April. I ran the Watford 10k in 2008 and whilst I think it's probably going a bit far to suggest that it was enjoyable, it was certainly satisfying to complete it. In the process of getting fit enough to make it to the end, I lost something like 2 stone (which I have unfortunately managed to find again) and felt generally healthier and good.
I would like to lose the weight and feel healthy(ish) again, so I decided that I should do this run in Blyth so I booked my place on Sunday morning.
The scary truth is that I weigh 17st 1.5lb (or 108.6kg) which makes a BMI of 34 (Obese). It's no wonder I have so little energy.
So the regime is in place, 3 training runs a week (last night's was worse than I hoped but better than I had feared), no more cake, no more double carbs at college (they have a passion for serving pasta with chips - genius!) and we'll see whether I can make this in 10 weeks time...
What have I gotten myself into!!
