Week 7 Session 1

Take 1 week's holiday, include an excess of Gin & Tonics, white wine, beer, BBQ's and assorted other junk food, then try and continue where you left off from a regulated exercise routine.
I've been reading where its good to take a break every now and again, but i suppose you need to attain a certain level of fitness before this doesnt make much difference to a schedule. I suppose i was about to find out.
I'm back to running structured sessions and this one called for 5 min warmup walk, jog 5 mins, walk 3 mins, jog 8 mins, walk 3 mins finishing with 5 mins jog. To be honest after running 2 milers it was a bit of an anti climax. Even the 8 min stint didnt cause me any issues. (it doesnt seem a few days ago this would have nearly finished me off) However, looking to the end of the week a 2 1/4 mile is planned. Funnily enough i'm not really that fazed about it as the last twice i did the 2 mile i still felt pretty good at the end. Weeks ago i could never see myself running 3 miles, now its just a few sessions away and i'm feeling more confident.
Time to start looking around for a 5k to enter as an incentive!
