Why Hello There Treadmill... Long Time No See!

I am so very proud to say... I did it! I went to the gym this morning. I am extra proud as I was so very close to not going... 

My Alarm went off at 6.00am... no problems as I doze when the 1st alarm goes off... then the alarm goes off at 6.10am.. that's when I started thinking...agh do I really want to go..why don't I just go on my way home this evening... yes that's what I will do... (knowing deep down that another excuse would come up this evening) so I reset my alarm for 6.45am... but then I lay there thinking.. If I don't go I won't get the body I want.. If I don't go I will never go.. If I don't go now then I will still have to face that whole "1st time back" workout which is always the hardest.... SO I threw off the covers and was halfway out of bed when Biggy pulled me back in for a cuddle...I did mumble "no I have to go to the gym" but in my head was going "fine i'll go tomorrow"...literally I was in his arms for 2 minutes before I started being pushed out of the bed again and was being told "off you go to the gym"... a few minutes later I was quite literally marching out of the door. Got to the gym for 6.35 and was on the treadmill for 6.40am! 

I did 25 minutes and covered just under 3k... the first 5 minutes of the 25 minutes was spent walking which means that I ran for 20 minutes straight... now some of you may be thinking ... 20 minutes flat I do that in my sleep... But I haven't been for to the gym in 6/7 weeks and I have never been much of a runner so to go straight in and do 20 minutes flat made me pretty damn proud... I finished with a couple of sets of abb crunches and then went for my shower at 7.10am.. so that's a good 30 minute workout...

Killers But Can Really Feel It

I do plan on going again tomorrow morning but would like to be at the gym for 6.30 (when it opens) so I can be running for 6.35. I need to have completed my workout by 7.10/7.15 so I can get to work on time so I can realistically get a 40 minute work out in. My plan is to go every day during the week.. I know that's alot and a bit Zero to Hero... but I have come to realise that with me it seems to be all or nothing... I can't just have one and I can't go every other day as otherwise the days inbetween just start to stretch out..that's how a one day break turned into a 6 week break...I won't necessarily run every day but will mix it up with toning workouts as well...

I would really like to try and do 5k within 30 minutes... so that will be my mini aim...when I last did 5k which was back in August I did it in 45 minutes.. so to do it in under 30 minutes would be amazing!
