5km fun run

Today i did the local 5km fun run. Finished in 51min 50secs, so a 30 second improvement on last year. I had hoped to go under 50 mins, but it wasnt to be. I was pretty down on myself, getting all pissed off because the km markers were out and i didnt know how my pace was, had a bout of pity party telling myself that i should just give up and stop trying to do this crap and thinking that i should just pull out of Blackmores and Tri Pink.

Fortunately that passed. I gave myself a good talking to, realised that in the last 12mths i really havent done that much training and i havent lost a single kg in that time, so why should i expect to ge able to get a 3 mins pb when i havent put in the hard work i need to be able to achieve these goals.

So now im psyched to continue the positive week i have had. Im religiously tracking my food, have a good mindset where im working hard on exercise and every extra calorie i eat is slowing me down more. So tomorrow is a nice recovery walk, tuesday i hope to fit something in between work and tafe at night, wed is swimming and so on. Friday is weight in day, so a 1/2kg loss will be fab, but at the moment im just concentrating on getting the eating right and consistent and the weight loss will follow.
