Last Fitcamp 26/28

Just a real quickie tonight, the photo above is of the race I ran tonight, we're only just home so this will be a really short post!
The race is called the Black Rock 5 the rock in the pic is the Black Rock and you run out and round it and back - 5miles on interesting mixed terrain!  It's tough going running on the beach, running in the water is fine, but the long "ripples" in the sand are hard going!
However, I completed it and was nowhere last, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Only complaint was that even though it was lovely and sunny, it was freezing and there was a strong cold wind blowing :-(
There was a group of us from Falkirk parkrun all there and we had good fun :-)

Today was our last fitcamp session of the Guinea Pig season, however John Allan and Pamela Halkett are running a free taster week next week for anyone who's interested - contact them either on facebook or at
www.pinpoint-fitness.com for further details

We redid the fitness test that we had done day 1 - seems ages ago!  Everybody blitzed it absolutely amazing results - Well done to all of us and huge thanks to John and Pamela for their motivation and advice.

Today's menu
Breakfast:  scrambled eggs
Lunch: Chicken salad
Dinner: a banana when I finished the race :-)

nite nite folks time to take my poor tired legs to bed as parkrun in the morning xx

6/28 PJ Day!

Yep that's been me today, I don't do this very often, but once in a while life catches up with me and I'm ashamed to say that I have spent today in my pjs...

I woke up early as usual, but had a lie in until 7 (that's a lie in for me!) and decided when I got up that I wasn't going to go to parkrun as I'd originally intended. I still thought I might run a couple of miles later on in the morning with John but in the end I didn't. It was a 'fine drying wind' this morning so got 3 loads of washing done and dried outside and baked some macaroons for a tea-party next week, and then another nutty loaf. John went for his run on his own, I just didn't have any energy, so I decided to save it all for tomorrow as I am determined I am going for my run tomorrow at Fort William.
After lunch I slept for an hour and feel a bit better for it, so then it was time to watch my donkeys run in the National and bring the washing in :-)

So, not much to report today, got a few £s back for 3rd place in the National, won't let me give up work but might buy a beer for John and George when they finish their race tomorrow.

Today's menu was
breakfast: Gluten free porridge with banana, drizzle of agave nectar and a spoonful of yoghurt
( I tried the millet porridge but it was too gritty so used gluten free oats instead)
lunch: Chicken stir fry, chicken breasts with broccoli, cabbage (red/white/green) onions, carrots, beansprouts
snack: slice of nutty bread
dinner: sirloin steak with brussels, cauliflower, carrots ( & baked potato for John)

On a positive note though, I am not as stiff/sore after yesterday's workout as I thought I might be I hope this means that I'm quite fit and my recovery is good, and not that I'm not working hard enough!!
will be heading for an early bed tonight as we're up at 0530 to head to Lochaber for marathon!

Early Night

well it's only 21.19 and I'm heading off to bed, looking forward to tomorrow morning and meeting all my fellow Guinea Pigs :-)
More after we've been through session 1...
