Marathon update and Bootcamp

Hello again!

Marathon training is going well, tomorrow I begin week 4! So far I have only missed one run which is pretty good going for me! I have changed some shifts around at my nursing placement so I do more days but finish two hours early so I can get home get my workout in, have tea with the fiance and play with the two chinchillas Pika and Pig(let).

Today was supposed to be a 4 mile run but I swapped it with tomorrows x-train day. So I am looking forward to getting out in the morning for a nice bank holiday run! Also heading to Scarborough tomorrow! YEY Seaside! And the Sealife centre. Happy me.

This week I ended up gaining ANOTHER lb. I blamed this on finally getting in my dissertation on Monday so for a while food wasn't something I thought about. Now I'm thinking healthy... I have even bought a watermelon! I LOVE watermelon, just they are fairly expensive!

The running journal is working really well, being able to have all the extra detail really helps to create the perfect running situation and discover at what times and with what foods my body works best with. Turns out so far I am good with running after a good night sleep (so not up a 5am on placement days!) and before breakfast, everything seems to run smoother that way. I am also finding that I am getting faster! my 3mile runs are down to under 31 mins. Good for me! Mind you, I can't wait until they are down to below 30! Eeek!

Bootcamp!
I have been looking for CrossFit classes in my area for a while now but the closest ones are a train ride away and I don't have the money for that AND CrossFit which isn't exactly cheap!
Anyway, I found Bootcamp. It looks fairly similar maybe a little less intense from the online vids but some of the exercises look the same and they have a same variable workouts, which I like.
It is still pricey around £77-£100 for the upper membership levels but they also offer a range of classes such as kickboxing, Bootcamp elite and Yoga. Once you have joined they even supply you with a nutritional plan for best results.
You get a weeks  free trial which includes 3 classes so I have booked mine for a few weeks time, can't wait to try it out!
This one is in the York area so if you want to check it out click here
