Getting Fit

Day 118 on the Dukan Diet

Well, today I reached my target weight in pounds but still have 300 grams to go until I am 60.9. However, I think I will put some weight back on tomorrow as was dehydrated after yesterday.

Yesterday I took part in the Music Marathon which is a charity event organised by the chap who has the franchise for Iron Man here in Lanzarote. It is a race for EVERYONE and a good place for me to start to see how I feel about running.

Needless to say I loved it!! The only pressure on me I put there myself as I was only doing the 1/8th of a marathon, just over 5k, where many people opted to walk so there was no chance of me being last by an hour or two!

As it happens I think I did quite well for me as I have only been training for a month. I did the distance in 35 mins which is better than my training time. And now I have the confidence to train for the 10k Arrecife marathon which is in November.

The event on the day was very good. There were kids running from my school and house who placed so I was very pleased about that. The organisation was fantastic. The fact the temperature sored into what must have been touching the 40's causing strong runners to collapse is not Kenneths fault!

And thank god for the fire men who hosed runners as they ran by to cool us all down.

So, I weigh today 61.2kg which is 9stone and 8lbs but as I say I fully expect to go up a bit.
