Not much to report today I'm afraid! I just did some strength and core type stuff, in an attempt to strengthen up my abs and therefore my back. There were at least 15 sit-ups, some reverse curl type things, 10 lady press ups, THE PLANK, and some more exercises that I don't know the name of but basically involve me lying around on the floor contorting myself into various odd positions.
I had hoped to do some running today, but I've just moved into a new flat in the city centre and am looking for appropriate running routes. Also, I had to wait around for four hours doing pretty much nothing while my Landlord fixed various parts of the bathroom, which meant that I had to squeeze the rest of my day into a much smaller amount of time than I'd hoped for. I haven't run since the Edinburgh Marathon and can't wait to get out there! I've just been on gmaps, and think I've found a possible route for my first venture. Lucky neighbours, getting to see me in lycra for the first of many outings! The good thing is that we now live right by the canal, so once I figure out which direction to head in, I should be all set. The unfortunate thing is that the rest of the area is very urban and industrial, so there's not many alternatives to the canal. I guess I'll just have to run further and find some greenery!
This shows what a great thing Juneathon is though. If I'd had the day that I'd had today in May or any other month that doesn't have an -athon attached to it, I wouldn't have done any exercise at all. Because I felt accountable, I managed to squeeze a bit in! It's like having your own personal trainer!
