Now, I know I've said that I 'don't do running', but I'm certainly no stranger to exercise. I'm aiming to complete the 5k challenge in a relatively good time. I've owned a cross trainer for 3 years and whilst it went through a period of being banished to the garage, it has been re-instated in the spare bedroom for several months. Along with episodes of Desperate Housewives it is helping me banish that 'baby belly'. Mentally willing myself that all this exercise WILL leave me looking like Eva Longoria is the perfect motivation - hey got to have a goal, right?! Alongside Wii Fit plus (I upgraded-woo!) I like to think I lead a fairly active lifestyle whilst having a bit of fun at the same time. Amelia often sits on the floor whilst I work up a sweat and she usually keeps herself amused with the mountain of toys that surrounds her. That is until she decides I'm much more entertaining and so likes to watch.... and laugh!
So in the comfort of my own home, exercise and me are pals, but outside is a different story. Eventually I'm going to have to pound the pavements and see what it actually feels like to run on solid ground. If I'm honest, I'm a little nervous about this. Indoors I can huff, puff and sweat with no worry of people looking at me, but ouside... I shudder at the thought. In an attempt to go unnoticed I may have to find a hat and some shades. Or will that just draw more attention to me?! Either way, let us not forget... it's all for a great cause. x
