  This is the start of my 12 week training programme to get fit for the 10k run that I am going to do on October 31st. And I'm really excited about it! My motivation for this 12 week challenge is not to lose weight, but instead the focus will be on improving my fitness and endurance and preparing myself for the run.
Of course if I lose some weight on the side then that's cool too. Although I won't really know because I am not going to weigh myself. This is my training plan for week 1. Monday: 20 minute run treadmill. Tuesday: Pump class. Wednesday: 20 minute run on treadmill. Thursday: Pump class. Friday: 20 minute run on treadmill. Saturday: 30 minute "real" run. I'm also watching what I eat, but the real problem is that it is my birthday on Friday so that day is going to be a bit of a write off.
See next blog entry for my birthday plans! But I figure I can work round it! I'm really looking forward to this challenge and I am determined that on October 31st, I will be one fit bitch running a 10k run. Maybe next year I'll try for the marathon....
