Week one...

I have been trying to re-motivate myself for one week. I need to get back into exercise. The first thing I had to do was buy some new running shoes. Nothing motivates me more than a great pair of appropriate footwear. I bought some Nikes from Sportsco Kippa Ring.

They have had a busy week.

3 x 10km on the Treadmill
2 trips to Genesis Rothwell. One was a killer lower body workout with my Personal Trainer, Pete Sargent, that left me in tears at the thought of needing to sit on the toilet.
2 runs outside along the gorgeous Scarborough Waterfront
3 trips to Coles. I think people were giving me a wide berth due to the the lingering smell of a big workout.
One cup of tea with a friend

PS: I am joining up with Wordless Wednesday at My Little Drummer Boys.

    1. Hi Trish, 8km is great. When I started I could barely run 1km. Running is hard and you should be really proud of 8. Rxx
