As soon as I start thinking about getting fitter my body rebels and decides to find an illness to partake of!
I don’t usually get ill, but I seem to remember when I was cycling to work every day in my last job I appeared to pick up all sorts of niggling sniffles.
Normally, these things don’t bother me too much and I can get on with things, however, once I start getting headaches that’s my weak point. I can’t think or do anything with a pounding head.
Is there a link between me getting fitter and me getting sicker? Is it a re-adjustment phase because my body is ‘going through changes’? Who knows? I don’t!
For now though I’m just trying to get some rest, but I’m still trying to watch my intake of food, especially soft drinks. I could go for diet versions, but I tend to like the ‘full fat’ versions so the watered down stuff isn’t so appealing! Instead I’ve gone for juices, although I’ll probably read something that advises against drinking those tomorrow!
I’m determined to drop as much of my jiggly stuff as possible to become a lean, mean, running machine in time for the Cardiff Half Marathon in October.
I just need to actually start doing some running!
