No 20 - Run 5k

Hi there you lot!!!!

So things have been a bit slack on the blogging front recently and I am sorry!

Here is an update for you, my new fringe!

I've decided to make a go of it at the gym again and so most of my free time has been spent there this week! I write this blog to inform you all that I have ticked off another of my list. Now normally this activity is done outside, however I find great comfort knowing that I won't get lost if I run on a treadmill. Yes, in the gym! Some of you may call it cheating, however I'm just proud I managed to do it by any means. I did it...

I ran 5k! Me!!!!!! That reaction you just had where you're questioning these words, eg " noooooooo she didn't!" Or " how? She can't run?!?!?!", that was exactly my reaction. I am not known for my stamina or lung capacity, So when I hit my wall* about 24 minutes in, I was incredibly close to giving up and walking over to maccies for a milkshake! But here is the important part. I didn't. For once, I find not give in and it felt awesome!  It took all of 39 minutes and a few seconds, but I did it!

*just as a side note, I feel I hit my wall a lot quicker than I have been doing when I was on my vegan eating plan. It is this that is creating me to question the positive impacts on my overall health that a vegan diet has to offer. This is something I am seriously considering as since I started eating animal related products again, I feel horribly drab and lethargic. Coinkidinky? I think not!!!!

As part of this blog, I challenge you. I challenge you to do your 5k. Whether it be jogging outside, jogging on a treadmill, biking, walking, skipping or even rowing ( for the real adventurous among us)! Then take note of how you feel. Then, if you tell me what you did, I will try and follow suit and post an update on here for everyone to read!

Thanks for reading you lovely lot!

Byeeeee
