Hi All

well its official – I am a Runner – I AM A RUNNER!

I had a great day today and suddenly I am full of energy and not tired or foggy or worrying about everything! I think a few things have contributed to this. First I have decided to bring my computer and work and phone all down from my room to the kitchen and when I get a free minute I just jump on and get some work done as this was stressing me out big time last week not keeping up with my work. Unlike some of the girls in here I still have work committments although my staff are working their butts off while I am away. I really appreciate their support of me. They are running a sweepstake on my weight loss while Im away. I have offered chocolates to the winner! haha

Back to the running – I ran this morning at 6.30am after doing a circuit

i RAN with Ray for an hour up and down steps and ramps and arouns a park and along the beach. I know he is trying to help me get my head sorted around what I am physically capable off and he is suceeding as when I got back from the basketball session we had in the afternoon I put on my jacket and went out in the pouring rain to run down to the Post Office to post a card to my Gran and thats about 25 minutes away. I was going to walk back but decided to run back as well so I know feel finally that I am a runner as I went out by myself with no one pushing me and I didn’t for one sec walk (except of course to buy the stamp! would have looked odd jogging on the spot in the post office)

I hope that I feel this good for the rest of the week now as if I do I think I will have broken some mental barriers I have had to running. i am also going to go running with my husband when I get home as he runs a couple of times a week.

I am also loving the food – it’s very very yummy!

I will leave you with an email that was sent to me today from Brenda – Thanks Brenda , I love hearing from people and I love what Brenda had to say at the end as her word of advise to me- It is great advise for all of us

Until tomorrow – enjoy Brenda’s words below

hi Phyllis
 
Yep got my pedometer and am wearing it as i write. Funny thing happened with it though. The 1st day I had it I wore it to work and went out on my bike to deliver the mail with it on and somehow lost it. Guess it fell off anyway thats about 3weeks ago now. Today I found it sitting in the grass now its had frosts sunshine rain and wind on it in those three weeks and its working just fine. So You and Me have to be like my little pedometer i reckon and just keep on keeping on no matter what life throws at us.
 
Keep up the good work I know you can do it.
 
Cheers Brenda.
