Start of a new week

Blimey my legs are aching today, of course it was the first time i had gone out yesterday with those weights on my ankles, so that defo did make a difference,and obviously worked me a lot harder. So im going to put them on again tonight.

Its another cold January day, or rather night as it is now,thats the only trouble with this weather, you need to wrap up from the cold but when you get going with any pace, you find that you become too hot and sweaty, losing valuable water and salt from your system.

So its important to keep hydrated even in this cold weather. the trick is to try and warm up first before you go out and then try to get a good pace going as soon as you can so you dont feel the cold and dont have to put too many overly warm clothes on for your walk so that you dont become too over heated while you are out.

Easier said than done though sat here shivering.....

So off i go again, start of a new week and a whole new set of goals, hopefully. 

Update----  

Well that was hard slog coming back. i was out 1 hour 55 minutes but only did 13,200 steps, bit dissapointed but then it was my own fault.

Got my ankle weights on, so i was carrying that extra 2kg, then when i got to tesco i decided to do a bit of shopping.

Coming back i had a rucksack full of shopping which felt like another 5kg on my back, which of course slowed me down and by the time i had walked another 2 miles i was getting really shattered..

So in the end i didnt face the final hill i always go up, i cut it short and so only managed 13,000... Oh well, i least i got my tea bags, and bread and things........
