just the one run , still have that problem with mt foot

Day seventeen

had the day off

Day eighteen

Day twenty

Deadlift

Just a normal

5x5 @ 115kg

Really not feeling good at the moment , have a fungal infection on my foot from running and the nastiest veruca on the ball of my foot , the f'ucker is huge and one of each of my little toes. Hopefully getting them frozen off and have some cream for my foot. On top of that i have just got a sinus infection.

Cannot run at all at the moment and i am really starting to wonder if i am going to make the great south run  , doctor has told me not to but i dont want to let the charity down or the people that have sponsored me.

Even if i do make it , i am not going to be able to run the full 10 miles. At the rate things are going , i will be lucky if i can run 5. If things do not improve soon , the only other option i have is to maybe do another run instead a month later and transfer all the sponsors to that race instead.

Feeling abit gutted to be honest and dissapointed in myself , feeling abit **** about the whole running thing to be honest. I feel like i have let myself down aswell.

On a good note i think i could be ready for a 150kg+ deadlift

Day twenty one

Good work on the lifting mate.

Have you still got plans to look at getting a rack. I know there was a special offer on at Powerhouse Fitness but i'm not sure how long for. - Worked out at around £130 i think for the standard rack - if you can afford it the model with the pulley attachment it's well worth it.

Awesome pic, but Tony you're not doing yourself many favours posting up tips on preventing the gag reflex and then a picture of a guy touching his toes - Ak

I do the occasional normal session of say 5x5 , but i just find it boring

Prefer having my own sessions and pushing myself , thats the part i enjoy

Great news on the bargain weights you got there Ballbag. Not as cheap as mine but then yours were ready to use

Upped the weight on my bar today to manage a PB Deadlift of 170kg so well happy with that and will be celebrating with a few pints tonight Well deserved aswell. I bet i even manage to leave the brownie when i get home after a few

You know what , the second i posted that i thought to myself "I bet chris comes along and says not as good of a bargain as his" <<<< My exact thoughts at the time!

Going to have a good session today

50 deads @ 100kg

Had 3 weeks off

Had problems with my knee and a chest infection/flu and call of duty mw2 came out hahaha

Had my final meal tonight , full english....ready to start for tomorrow.

First day back , no training today as i wanted a first day diet first and it will get rid of some bloat.

Going to start training tormorrow with some lifting and cardio

Thought I would brush the cobwebs off and get this journal going again along side my shape up.

Today

Well its been a while since I done any deads , come in nice and easy today and felt a little light headed doing them , wasnt planning on them so didnt eat as if I was. Nice easy session and the 125kg was easy , will build myself back up each session.

Feels great being back at the weights and not just cardio.

I squat like a small town girl.

Going to squat today and throw in some more deads and maybe some over heads.

Starting new proper routine on monday with a new diet.
