Well it would appear the training has been promptly put on hold thanks to having a chest infection or whatever it is! a trip to the Dr's this afternoon and low and behold no running until my peak flow is back to normal.
That will explain why I only managed 5.5miles yesterday and not the 8 I set out to do. In saying that I still managed to do the 5.5miles in just over an hour so quite happy with the results.
What I am over the moon with however, is the first week on the new Weight Watchers propoints plan and I have lost 2lbs that's the boost that I need if nothing else.
Running wise I am not feeling comfortable about it at the moment and the doubts are creeping in, I was supposed to be doing a 10K this weekend coming for the RNLI at Glamis Castle but that all depends on how quick I can get back outside.
One thing I have realised is that I HATE the treadmill, the most I have managed on it is 3 miles. I find the heat in the house too overbearing and the little one hates the noise it makes (oh what a shame!).
Ian also seems to have lost motivation this week which doesn't help me in the slightest but things can only get better and here's hoping this is only a little blip.

08.11.10 Another Week Another Update!
Well another 1lb down so that is almost 5lbs in four weeks, was hoping for more this week. Mind you doesn't everyone want 1lb more, or 2lbs more. But then it really is no surprise this week from pizza, the golden arches and two lunches out and a dinner out it really should not come as a shock.
Running wise, I gave the weekly runs a miss last week to give my hip some time to recover and it has worked thank goodness. It was starting to worry me how painful it still was.
Yesterdays long run however, was the farthest I have ever attempted. I perhaps wasn't the most successful run but I did try to stick to my run 4 minutes and walk 2 minutes and in doing so I did the 7 miles in 1hr 32 minutes. I was a good girl too and did my stretches for both warm up and cool down and the good old hip didn't get sore till 4.5miles in.
Ironically I joked with my friend Annie that I would wave if I got as far as their house on my 3.5 mile out and back and sure enough where was the turning point... a stones throw from their garden. So next week I think (and Annie if you are reading this lol!) I will take her up of her offer, I will text as I leave the car park and pick up fresh water at the edge of the garden!!!!
So what will this week bring? No measured mile tonight that is for sure as it is blowing a howling gale outside .... ah but what about that super duper treadmill I hear you say.... well with Hubby having to work on the laptop at the kitchen table and the starting of a cold appearing, yet again I am foregoing a run.
This week however, I am hoping to add in another element of training with some cross training or rather some "biggest loser" on the wii fit. Of course if its bad news at work on Thursday I may have more time to fit in some training if I am going to become a lady of leisure!!!! (but please some positive vibes that my team are 'safe' from this round of redundancies)

01.11 November November
Hmm start the month by failing my first target which was to get under 13 stone but in saying that I am only 2lbs shy of that so I guess not too bad.
New target for November is to get to 12st 9lbs by the 1st of December.
Another target is that by the end of November I will be able to run my measured mile in 10mins 50 seconds. Doesn't sound a lot I know but trust me for this little snail that is a mammoth task.
As for the measured mile, well giving that a miss tonight for once I am listening to my body and it is saying please don't run. My left calf is very tight and my right hip is still not playing fair.
