Got a run in today...


Yesterday I saw on the weather channel that today ( Sunday ) was going to be a good day in Cape Town after days and days of rain, wind and clouds...So I knew last night already that today I was going to head out for a run....I had no idea what distance, but a run I had to have as I have been so busy this week I haven't been able to run besides on Wednesday when I did a 10 km and felt great...my own running self again...
I do think a few bloggers misunderstand my *I'm back* statement...
I'm still in Cape Town, its just that I felt like my old self again, hence the * I'm back * comment I left on my last entry. I will be in Cape Town until the 18 December....

This morning after I got dressed into my running gear I went up to my daughter who was still in bed feeding our new Princess and asked her to please take a photo of me in my running gear holding my precious bundle as I want to look back at this photo in the future and remember that I was a fit *Nana* someone who took care of myself....When she sees these photo's she maybe an adult herself and me a very old lady...I want her to see me as I was when she was born...
Today I ran 10 km in 1hr 7 mins....my best time for a while...even my 5km time was my personal best and the route has so many hills, would love to see what my time would be on a flatter route.
HR ~ 117-175
Calories ~ 1230 ( its those hills )
25% fat
I've become a lot stricter with my diet again...clean eating is what I am focused on, as its the way for me now with MS, but have decided to count points as well while on holiday to make sure I stick within the points allowed for me daily...I lost all my weight doing the Weight Watchers program so really have lots of faith in the program....when I return to Germany and have better access to the internet I will count calories and not points....

I've had such a busy week and although I have only trained 2x this week I am satisfied with doing 20 km this week as I trained a bit more last week and only did 17km.

  4. I think it's a great thing that you want your grandchild to remember you the way you are now. I can read into this that the way you are now, makes you feel proud. You're such an inspiration!
