Day 40 - Early Starts?

I am starting to think that while I am here, an early start might be easier than going for a run at 8am. I don’t think it has dropped under 40 degrees during the day and it is usually around 32 while I am running now. It was really hot this morning and I am struggling with the heat. I have obviously been spoilt by going to an air-conditioned gym LOL. What amazes me is the people you see running during the day – I have no idea how they have the stamina to do it when it is that hot. Don’t get me wrong, I love the heat, but to be in the full sun during the hottest part of the day is just too much. I am thinking I could do my weights program in the morning and go for a run at night (which is what I usually do when I am at home anyway). Either that or have an early start and go for a run as soon as I get up 1st which would be around 6am. Not that it really matters much as we will be heading home soon. Although, it would be a great routine to get into, and I could continue the early run when I get home. Oh, decisions, decisions ………. Will let you know what I decide, later

Merry Christmas!! It felt weird going for my run this morning as I was the only one on the track. No-one was around. Maybe I am the only crazy person to be out running on Christmas morning LOL. It was such a beautiful morning though – it was about 21 degrees, the sun was shining, the birds were all out, kids were riding their new bikes and scooters, I saw one family playing cricket on their front lawn and another playing bat tennis. My legs and bum are a bit sore from yesterday’s workout – I am so pleased with that as I was a little worried I didn’t have enough weights on the bar. Obviously I did My kids certainly know me as I got a new personal training diary, a water bottle, hand towels and ankle weights from them for Christmas LOL. They will certainly all come in handy My abs training…….didn’t happen. I know, that’s really bad but I was so busy racing around cooking, cleaning and making sure everyone had food and drinks that I ran out of time. I will add the abs workout to my training tomorrow to make up for it.

Was working hard at the gym this morning doing my triceps rope extensions when I looked in the mirror and noticed my bum has gone? Where has it gone though? It’s just flat - there is nothing there. I need some booty - and I’d like it back now please LOL. Obviously I haven’t been training my lower body over the last 3 weeks but I’ve been running almost every night and doing cycle classes. Surely that would help. I think I need to to incorporate some hack squats or lunges. I’ve only got three more sessions left until I see my trainer and I know already that he will change my program again. Will make sure he puts something in there to help me get my bum back LOL. My cardio session was hard tonight - I think I need to slow it up a bit - am probably getting a little ahead of myself (still felt good after it though LOL). Have got cycle class tomorrow - can’t wait
