4 weeks to go
Well I am now less than four weeks away from the point to pinnacle and I have realised something over the past week… I should have done a lot more running up till now!
One positive things is that I recovered well from yesterday and a couple of weeks ago I was getting pain in my foot after the longer runs but that seems to have healed now because I ran tonight and felt nothing.
I didn’t push myself much today just ran to my gym which is about a hilly 4km away then did my dumbell shoulder presses and a couple of ab sets and ran back. I knew that I wouldn’t get a great workout in by running first but I guess that isn’t really my focus at the moment.
My bodyfat was back to low 8’s too tonight so I guess last week was just an anomaly but I have dropped a bit of muscle as well but again I guess that is to be expected. I have added back a few more carbs to try and fuel the running too. But one of the best things I have achieved over the last couple of months is to break my dependance on processed carbs like white bread. Now when I think carb for the most part it is wholegrain bread, sweet potato and brown rice and fresh fruits and veggies. I have even began to crave broccoli! I still find myself having a small treat every now and again although it is usually stealing one of my daughters fun size chocolates which are so small I guess they wont kill me but they don’t help anything either.

It’s great that you’ve tightened up your diet. That’s the one area that I could use the most work. I would also benefit from more time in the weight room…. oh well. If I did things differently I may not be enjoying myself so much, and the joy of the journey is what I relish most.
