Holiday lazyitis

Just back from two weeks on Isle of Lewis. I managed a 30K cycle and 8k run in the whole two weeks. The cycle was very different in that it was right along the coast with huge atlantic waves breaking on the cliffs and so I had a permanent wind across my face plus the road had no flat sections at all. It was either up or downhill plus dealing with the cattle grids and teh wandering sheep on my bike was pretty bizzarre. The first 5k was torture but I got back into it after that. I could have went longer but the weather was rubbish and I just wasn't motivated to exercise when the girls were having fun at the beach.

As a result of nearly 3 weeks of no exercise I'm starting to get tired during the day and feeling all lethargic again. I've lost all motivation and can't even visualize myself exercising. I haven't went near the scales but I can see soft bits appearing where before there were none.

I therefore managed to drag myself out last night as I have another weeks holiday next week and this will be followed in 3 weeks by a half marathon in Glasgow. 18K in 1hr 46min , I could have ran faster but I wanted to break myself in easily. It was quite hot around 23C but a nice night. I also managed to drag Team Kennedy manger round with me so the 18K is a new record run length for her. Well done Alison :O)
