Housework is Exercise...

I couldnt believe it this morning when I looked out and there was snow falling on the ground again, as Jess stood oohhing and ahhing out the window I was seriously cursing as I really dont want to have to run in the snow. Didnt last long though and by lunch time it had all but gone phew.

Friday is my housework day and boy oh boy is that a work out in itself. Hoovering sofas, washing floors, cleaning 3 toilets, I mean really who needs 3 toilets Im seriously thinking about boarding 2 up if the boys cant learn to aim straight bleugh. Cleaning always seems to give me some sort of sciatic pain in my back hip bottom area not good so I always end up pretty stiff and sore.

My ankle wasnt as bad as I thought this morning, Mr H made me put ice on it last night so think that might have helped; Legs have been a bit heavy and even when I went out this afternoon I made a conscious effort to take the stairs everywhere and really felt it as I climbed 6 flights on the old thighs, Im sure my bottom will reap the benefits as it makes the long hard climb from the back of my knees up to nearer where it should be!

2nd day on C25K and I felt it tough today, obviously the effects of a doulble class last night didnt help but I couldnt help thinking if Im finding it hard to do a minutes running at a time how the hell am I going to manage 30 minutes?! Anyway I completed it, wasnt as fast as Wednesday but then Tuesday was my rest day so I had a fresh pair of legs on Wednesday. My legs were very tired and I was finding the running bits difficult as I was dodging lots of bits of black ice at the same time so Im sure this added to me being a bit slower. Next day for running is meant o be Sunday but I really dont know if Ill manage mmmmmm, my first fail maybe? I really dont know if its wise to do it with a hangover but then again it might blow the cobwebs away, will need to watch this space for that one!

Think Im going to have to rethink my training schedule but it has to work round my classes which are on a Monday and Thursday as hubby trains for footie and also goes to the gym. So I need to fit in 3 days of running mmmmmm, either that or Ill just need to keep pushing through the barrier on a Friday. Wednesdays and Sundays are fine for running as Tuesday and Saturday are rest days, well thats as long as I dont hit the voodoos on a Saturday night which cant be guaranteed.

Tips for today
1. Do not go for a spray tan then go running, you WILL meet someone you know (who says you look great till you point out you are actually 10 shades darker than normal) and small children will throw things at you
2. Dont think you can get away with going for a run with no bra on just so you dont take your fake tan off, seriously not a good look for above small children and definately not good for the back!

So I doubt Ill be here till maybe Monday but then again I may surprise you and do my run on Sunday, somehow I doubt it watch this space..................
