saturday
imaginative title huh?
decided not to do the CR challege today because with my course and driving etc it just felt too much like hard work. i did feel like a bit of a cop out though.
So instead i stuck to the program which was 1hr 9km. I ended up doing 9.35k at 6.25 pace. i stopped for a stretch at 1.8 and at about 4k i had a new lesson. if i have sustagen before a run - I STILL NEED TO DRINK WATER AS WELL. I felt dizzy and light headed and really weak. It was awful. Similar to Thursday so i don't know what that is about. Anyway i ran into the park where i knew there were taps, had some water and then felt right as rain. I was pleased because i thought i was going to have to call it quits.
came home, did a pilates dvd, some stretching now having porridge (traditional oats not quick oats as I was told by the dietitian!!) and about to hit the showers and back for more group therapy. last night was v interesting..
good luck to all at W2B today!

hehehe I am still laughing at your use of norks in a blog entry :-) Very noice!!
9k and pilates in one day is certainly not a cop out. Im the same, sometimes opting for the most convienient option.
Good to hear the water done the trick and the dizziness etc disappeared.
like the pilates efforts - could never really get myself motiviated enough to truly discover the point about them - however, unlike yourself I have atrocious abs (and they're also well hidden)
Not a bad decision on the 5km - you'll probably benefit more from what you did today instead - presuming you actually did stay away from the biscuits and other trash they laid out for you ;)
Abs and hammies, the bane of the runner's injury ridden career. Good on you Ellie for the Pilates. My friends swear by its benefits and I need to do more of it.
