biggest loser day 5

Woke up this morning fresh from my rest day. Did my 2 mile run in 30minutes which means I knocked 3 minutes off my previous time.

the next thing was a 5 mile run at 11am. Though Matt did say I probably wouldn't manage that at this stage so it will be part run part walk. After doing so well with this mornings run I thought if I go up to ogden where it is relatively flat 5 mile is 4 times round - I can do that!

No I can't!

I managed to run constantly for about 1 3/4 laps after that I ran a bit, walked a bit but walked the last lap and a half with no running.

I'm not bothered about not running all of it as I had already run 2 miles and I know I did as much as I could and worked hard. The way I see it with each day I'm getting lighter an my muscles are getting stronger. so I'll be able to run further soon enough.

I did do something stupid though. Because I didn't want to be needing the toilet all the time when running I drank very little this morning. By the time I got back from the 5 miles I was quite light headed and not feeling well. It was obvious I was dehydrated so I started drinking as much water as possible but it was too late, I've not been well all afternoon and still aren't too good now.

I had to go buy a new tumble drier this afternoon and I was in the shop looking at them when I went really dizzy... really dizzy. I stood still and waited for it to pass and it did but it took a lot longer than I would have expected, I was starting to get worried.

Because of that I didn't go and do my weights session at 3 like I was supposed to, I gave myself longer to recover. I did go though and do everything I was supposed to, just later than intended.

I'm in bed now hoping to get to sleep early so I'm wide awake for the RPM class in the morning.

I really hope I've lost a fair bit of weight this week. I should have done but I don't know as I've been good and not weighed myself. I made a lot of bold statements after getting weighed on Monday. Things like losing a stone in the first week. I think I've watched too many episodes of the biggest loser.

I know realisticaly a stone is unlikely so I'm not going to be bothered about that but I really hope after all the effort I've put in this week it is a decent weight loss.
