After a week of staying off the booze, drinking lots of water and watching what I eat, it was time to step things up. Back to the gym, eeeeeeek!!!!

I had actually been out running a handful of times before starting Sober for October. I was using C25K and was slow but trying. It is getting darker at night so I’m shifting my efforts to the gym because I don’t fancy freaking myself out on dark roads!

So on the treadmill I knew exactly how far I went. I managed 2.5km in 20 mins. Not too bad considering how unfit I am. I was red for ages afterwards!

It will be Thursday before I get to go again due to work and childcare, but I am aiming for 5km by Christmas. Might sign up to the Christmas Day 5k as extra motivation…..hmmmmm…..
