After being repatriated back to South Africa and, finally, getting home in July, I started running and exercising again! I had put on far too much weight and felt very unfit, and something needed to be done!
I started a C25K plan, which I felt was the best way to restart my running. I also did some strength/toning work and stretching sessions. I graduated from the C25K on 9 August by doing a 5km virtual race. My time was 34:37.
I ran another virtual 5km on 6 September and managed a time of 33:18. I had lost a kg in weight and had done a month's more training, and was pleased with this result.
I then worked up to a 10km, by following a 10km plan and ran Cape Town virtual marathon 10k on 18 October in a time of 1:10:01.
On 31 October, I ran another virtual race, the Kleinmond Animal Welfare 5km. I did the same 5km as the two previous 5km runs and managed a time of 31:33. The weightloss and training is obviously working!
Then 'going to work' happened again!
