I went for a run this morning, I knew it would be hard. I spent Christmas pigging out and have done no exercise since Christmas Eve. I decided to run before eating, as I have read that running on an empty stomach can help to burn fat. Ni idea if this is true, but worth a try!

I started out slow, taking my longer route, and stayed slow, being force to walk at two points. My calves gave up on me first, as usual, so I really did not get an excellent cardio session. On the final stretch home I did force myself to increase the pace a little, so I was at least slightly out of breath when I finished. 32 minutes is a slow time for this route.

I decided to have a bath after, as my back has been aching recently, and I do feel more relaxed and loser now.

Hopefully I will do some weight training this evening. I figure that while I am on holiday I should try to exercise twice a day when possible, maybe I can get into the habit and continue the pattern of a morning run and evening weight training session at the weekends.
