21:13 - 21:45

Walk around Lanark town centre - 2.10 miles/3.38km. Much the same route as Sunday, but without the extra loop around Home Street/sorting office, but including all the uphill bits ! (And carrying some more shopping from Tesco too ... ;))

Wednesday 29th July 2009

20:45 - 21:25

3 laps around Lanark Loch (0.96 miles/1.55 km per lap). Slower than previously (shins are rebelling against all this work !), so done as 400 walk + 100 run (rather than 400+150). Added an extra section on to the first lap - seems there's an additional path with a better surface for running on, but that involves a climb away from the loch, some extra distance then a descent. Surface is a lot better though, and takes away from the flat nature of the lap - something to add in if and when I get any better at this !

Tuesday 28th July 2009

Day off today - just the 1.06m/1.71km trot around Dalkeith, although taking the easy route (opposite way round, coming *down* the vicious steps rather than going up them!)

Monday 27th July 2009

Two today !

Quick walk in Dalkeith at lunchtime. Route: Office -> Park -> Steps -> Water Tower -> Bank -> Post Office -> Office = 1.17 miles, 1.88 km. Hard to guesstimate time as spent time in bank & post office - steps up to water tower are still a killer though !

20:23 - 20:59

3 laps of Lanark Loch (0.96 miles / 1.55 km)

9 sets of 400 walk + 150 run, followed by 350 walk/100 run/300 walk/100 run/100 walk to finish. Roughly same time as Saturday, suspect I underestimated Saturday's time (only had an analogue watch with me !)

Sunday 26th July 2009

18:35 - 19:25

Walk around Lanark town

Home -> Tesco -> Delves Park -> Sorting Office -> St Mary's -> Home = 2.5 miles, 4.03 km.

Time includes doing the shopping in Tescos (and carrying it !) :)

Saturday 25th July 2009

First night !

20:55 - 21:30

3 laps of Lanark Loch (0.96 miles, 1.55 km per lap = 2.88 miles, 4.65 km)

Approx 2000 paces - first lap did about 550 running, second 400 at run, third 300 at run.

Here We Go Again ...

Well, I finally got tired of my split level belly. Time to do *something* about it, I thought, so I've started trying to do some sort of exercise. To make it externally accountable, I'll log what I attempt doing here. You never know, I might actually manage to get ... maybe, kinda, sorta ... fit...
