So there's the end of Week 1 of the training programme!

I can't say I'm noticing any difference at all in my fitness or strength, I don't know if I was expecting to or not though, so it doesn't really make a massive difference!

I have noticed after my two runs and rather epic 30 minute cycle ride, that my cardio fitness seems ever so slightly improved. Only a little bit, but I've noticed it and it feels like the first teeny achievment on the way to the bigger picture!

I can't believe the fist week has been and gone either, I never thought I'd even complete the first week because my self discipline is crap and I'd wimp out the first sign of things getting even the tiniest bit difficult!

One of the biggest things I'm pleased with this week, is the timed run on Day One. Not only did I finish the 1.5miles in a time that would enable me to get into the RAF, but I didn't have the slightest pain in my shins, and that is something that was really worrying me!

Despite the positives that I've bought out of the first week, I am REALLY dissapointed in myself for my rest day and yesterday. I let my "careful" eating and choice of food slip rather seriously on those two days and in turn it affected my running. I've given myself a talking to and a slap on the wrists and will try not to let it happen again. If I'm tempted, I'll remind myself of just how ill I felt when I was running after fish & chips, a bottle of coke and a rather large chocolate bar!

Wahey! Onto Week Two!! :D B)
