Hey,
So for the past few days i've had a full on cold so gave myself a bit of a rest over the weekend. I went for a walk yesterday and today, so that was a little bit of exercise. I completely forgot to blog over the last 2 days.
I do feel a bit better today so i'm going down to the track tomorrow to get some good training in, provided I wake up better not worse haha.
Have some good video plans too woohoo!
Sorry i've not got much to write, had a rubbish day where I found out my cars going to cost £400 and something to repair. :(

I'm Ciara and this is my blog, I run long distance races and competed in the London Marathon 2012! It was such an amazing experience! I'm using this blog to motivate me to get out training and to motivate others to start running or continue running too. Its also a log of all the training i've completed, the healthy foods i've eaten and my favourite or not so favourite running gear. Please follow me, comment on and enjoy my posts!

Day 3
Yo!
I feel ill :( thinking about taking a day off from exercise tomorrow.
Had a great day, ran 5 miles this morning with some hill training in the middle.
Watching August Rush now :) Sorry i'm way too tired to write much sooo i'm going to leave you with a picture of my dinner. Ok it looks absolutely disgusting but it actually tasted good... I named it Cauliflower surprise!
It's Cauliflower mashed with greek yogurt and then some chicken and mushrooms... ok we have not got much food in the house :D But I hid them in it so it was mm yeah.

Day 2
Hey,
Nearly forgot to write this today! Even though i've been snap happy taking pictures of my food all day.
I got up this morning and had to wait for my new watch to be delivered! I had the same one for 2 years but in a slightly different colour, but this one is the cheapest one of the forerunner 110 so I decided to get this as the last one broke :( my old one was pink and grey. I was going to go for something else but decided I was happy with this one before so why change! Although after i'd opened it I saw in my magazine that the 240? I think its the 240 has £100 knocked off and I really wanted that one! :( But oh well.
This was my dinner... I wanted to make it look all presented nicely but my dad was walking back into the kitchen and I had a plate of bits cut off from the toast and egg whites so I snapped and then shoved it all into the bowl before he wondered what I was doing. it was some nice veggies and then a poached egg on ww bread that i'd cut into rounds using a scone cutter thingy haha, I'm so cool!
Well I'm exhausted so i'm going to bed!

So this was my breakfast... chocolate all bran, skimmed milk and berrocca haha. I feel like i'm getting a sinus infection or something so cramming the berocca down to get my vitamins!
Then I ran 3 miles in 25 minutes, not record breaking time but good enough for me considering I haven't ran properly in ages!
This is my lunch :D it was yum! haha I sound like a 4 year old :/ it was umm 3 carrots, 4 cherry tomatoes, lime and corriander homous and some lean ham.
I was so shattered from running. I went to Starbucks earlier and had a Vanilla Spice Latte :) It smelled gorgeous and I kept getting wafts of it while I was driving home. I also bought a copy of Runners World magazine yay :) Will go into that in more detail another day but it has some Pancake recipes in it so i'm definitely making pancakes tomorrow!

Hello Day 1
Hi,
Ok so seeing as I wanted to make my first blog post today. I had to drag myself out running even though I was not feeling 100%. I had to lead my running group anyway and I have a new member which is fantastic!
Today was the start of my training for the Reading Half Marathon which is on the 17th March 2013 :/
I have NOT trained. Because i'm rubbish. Okay well i've swam once a week but just not ran too much. so I have 9 and a half weeks to hurry up and get up to speed.
When i've completed the 9 and a half weeks i'll post my training plan but I haven't actually written it yet... I'm doing that tomorrow. Along with a couple of personal training plans for family members.
Today we ran 5:08 miles. This included just running 2 miles and then a bit of interval training in the middle. A pyramid set using lampposts up to 5 and then back down. Then a nice long run up huge hill before cooling down.
I need to get myself out tomorrow!
Ciara
