Day 8 - 29 May 2013 - Back to me

Time to step up the pace a bit.

Start with 5 min walk followed by intervals of 1.5 min jog and 2 min walk.

It didn't start too well. I decided to try out music with the 10k app I'm using, cos I've been assured it will help me run.

It didn't.

I forgot that I can't keep a headphone in my left ear (I have no idea why) so I spent my first stint of running faffing around with the headphones, trying to sort the music and resetting the app. So my breathing went to pot right from the start.

Plus the fact that my homemade arm strap for phone was worse than useless.

Home made arm strappy thing

So, yes, you were right Ang, I need to get a proper arm strappy thing for my phone/ipod!! Masking tape doesn't quite cut it.

Then discovered that my phone has about half a minute battery life when running said app together with music.

Disaster. I had to guesstimate the rest of the course and I'm sure I've pulled a muscle in my thigh.

So onto ebay to buy arm strappy thing and ear phones that stay in my ears.

Got a bit distracted though and ended up googling sports aids. Thinking of buying this.. a Face trainer!!

I figure it would do wonders for my double chin (s),

except it looks like a gimp mask. 









Or what about this velcro jogger....






 ...no need to worry about the locals laughing at me!!









But my personal favourite has got to be this

1970s massager.....

. Oooo-er!!I got to get me one of those green leotards.    lush :)




Which reminds me, talking of useless sports equipment, I found this in my attic the other day, according to t'internet, TOTALLY useless.

Ab cradle

Well, I figure its got to be better than nothing.









Mr S. decided to cheer me up in the best way he can....pizza and vodka. Oh yeah!!.. I can always try again tomorrow :)

          Well, a girl needs a treat every now and then :)
