Cake

I love Cake. Especially Victoria Sponge Cake.With Raspberry Jam and fresh whipped cream. Last week was my Birthday and The Current Mrs FR always makes me a wonderful cake. But this year a colleague, who is practising for domestic goddess of the year, also made a sponge cake. How selfish are they? Here I am trying to get a little fitter, keeping up my running/walking and they go and make cake. I could not say no, that's just rude.

Started week 3 last week although it was my 5th week. It is getting a little easier. Just a little. I aslo mamanged to do a full week last week despite having a crazy week at work. That's too many weeks for one paragraph.


So on to week 4. Oh did I say, I was told there are no calories in food on birthdays. Fact.

The Noise of Running

Four weeks ago I looked for an app to prompt me with the run/walk changes that are needed with the C25K challenge. I'm a Blackberry user and the choices were limited especially compared to the iPhone. This then sent me on a path to a pre built podcast. Found Laura on the NHS website and I chose to start that day.

However, as much as it is a good start, the choice of music started to become, well, lets just say it was not my cup of tea. So after much procrastination, looking for alternatives, I just made my own. It helps I am in IT and merging a few MP3s and overlaying a bit of audio is pretty easy. So now I spend too much time trying to choose music for the next run. Maybe it would easier to just get an iPhone. Wait, what's that, the iPhone 5 is out soon... and my phone is out of contract... surely this is a sign? Almost compulsory? Perhaps.

Week four complete Repeated week two. New trainers/runners/pumps. Much better. My right knee is still not happy. Not happy at all. On to week five or week three of C25K.
