2 week holiday

I'm the first to admit that I have been indulging a little too much since my injury and the end result of this is extra weight and a big loss of fitness. While I am on holidays for the next 2 weeks I intend to turn this around and get my metabolism back fired up and burning strongly again.

So much for my planned 60k bike ride early this morning, instead I slept in. I think the emotional energy involved with leaving my job and the end of financial year work-load really left me more tired than realized. With the adrenaline levels down - I was feeling zonked.

Despite this I managed a 1hr hard ride and also a 6k run without stopping (yeah me!). I'm sure Holly the lab was equally shocked. What a feeling of accomplishment I got! I didn't use my orthotics and used my old Brooks Dyads as an experiment - if I am only running two or three times a week for a while, I think I will use them and see if my shin responds any better. If not, I will be heading to a new podiatrist for a second opinion on my orthotics and running shoes. Having spent what seems like a bazillion $'s on orthotics/adjustments, physios, osteos and myotherapists and having spent many weeks not running I'm not convinced I have received the best professional advice. I might well be wrong but I need to be sure. I just want to be back running normally again - like I was last year or early this year - I need it!!

A fellow blogger recently teased me about my pajama preferences. It got me thinking that it might be fun to see what sleepwear some of us are using. Here is me trying to avoid showing my double chin to much in my winter PJ's. Now, who's game and who's next?
