I can't believe how tired I am feeling today, particularly my legs. I am not going to think or worry too much about it as I have just this instant decided that I will feel better tomorrow. Just get over it and move on.
Sprint training was full on today. 800 x 1, 300 x 1, 150 x 3, hills & oval. All within targets so I am definitely progressing. That was our last Sunday on the grass track. Next week we move back to training on the tartan track. Now that really sorts your legs out!
My challenge is on target. Monday is the start of my final 5 weeks. I know I done this before and the big changes don't happen for me until around the 10 week mark, but I still have a lot of fat to remove from my stomach/buttt/thighs. This has always been my problem area and although Ashley is confident that I will lose it, I still continue to worry because I know how hard it is to shift that area.
It doesn't help when I get comments like..your losing too much weight, your too skinny. Believe me I am not skinny. My body fat according to my scales was in the high 30's when I started, now at least I am down to the low 30's. (Don't know how accurate the scales are) It's just that I tend to lose the weight from my arms and top half first and unfortunately this is not where I need to lose it.
I do my cardio at home on a treadmill. 45 min early morning- 5 days, 30 min night 4 days, 1 day outdoors sprint training and 1 rest day(Sat). My rest day means no cardio or weight training but I also fit my field events training in on this day. Yesterday I spent an hour or so down at the park for some discus work. This is just something I like to do as there is no-one else around, just me and my dog.
Looking forward to another busy week on both the personal and business front.

Sounds like you are going great on your challenge, and yes WHY is it that we have to lose fat from places like our faces and boobs first, giving us a "skinny/gaunt" look - especially when there's still a bit to lose on the lower body! Very annoying!
