Hi guys, Don't know if this is the place to put it but I want to post a fitness log somewhere in the hope of getting encouragement adn motivation given I am an extremely unmotivated person.
The way I am gonna do this is I am gonna post my logs for, Running, and general exercise, the Training program I am using is roughly the Royal Marines one, well the one on the website.
I will post in the format of
Run
Distance -
Time -
Details-
*link to route taken, shown on MapMyRun*
Circuits
Push-ups: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3.
Tricep-dips: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3.
etc...
I will not be running every day, and I will not be doing circuits every day, but I will be doing one of them everyday at least. Sometime both.
I am gonna start with back when I got back into training last monday.
Monday - 12 January 2009
Run
Distance - 2.6 miles
Time - 29.15 mins
Details - This was my first run in over a month I had put on around 2 stone since 3 weeks before Christmas, and I realised just out of shape I was, had to run, then walk, run, walk, many times on Monday, very disconcerting and I wanted to just give up then.

Gym
Went to the Gym with a friend, was checking it out to see if I would join, built a good sweat, and kept going, but I don't really like Weight's machines, they are very annoying, so I don't think I will go regularily and I will just stick with Runs and circuits.
Wednesday - 14 January 2009
Originally planned for this to be a rest day, but decided to do circuits late in the day. I can't remember all I did, but I will put roughly what I did. I realised that day I had lost alot of upper body strength as well.
Circuits
Push-ups: 15, 13, 10.
Squats: 20, 25, 20.
Lunges: 20, 25, 20.
Situps: 25, 20, 18.
Knees to chest: 15, 12, 12.
Half-sits: 15, 13, 13.
Tricep dips: 20, 23, 20.
*note: I did more things but I can't remember what, will keep notes in future.*

Run
Distance: 2.6 miles
Time: 26.15 mins
Details: I was quite happy with this run, went as long as I could before walking a bit, and continuing, Still, I knew I wanted it less. It was also lashing raining and I was soaked through before I even started my warmup, I was highly surprized with my time. Same Route.

Saturday - 17 January 2009
Run
Distance: 2.6 miles.
Time: 24.09
Details: I was happy as Larry with this, I still want the time reduced alot further, but I feel I really pushed through a pain barrier today, even if only because I needed a shite!!! I did the route backwards because I needed to get water, so in fairness it was easier than normal because I ran over the Humpback bridge near where the end of my route usually is, so the bridge was at the start, possibly accounting for the extra 2 mins off. but I was still happy with it, I walked alot less today I think, I am aiming to cut another minute off tomorrow.

I may do some circuits today, I have yet to decide, If I do I will edit this post.
If anyone has any tips, advice, motivation, or anything to say, please do!!! I could definitely use some objective criticism.
Thanks for reading, or not reading, I just need to keep a log somewhere!!!
