    Fair play on breaking the cycle and getting out on the Thursday
    A small one that works for me.
    Have one of those apps that tracks steps.
    Make sure even on the lazy days I get in 7 or 8k steps. Good for the head to know I've not been pure lazy

    I think it was the wisdom tooth tbh. Im not a lazy person by nature (or at least with the last while) and i think the amount of ibuprofen i was taking to kill the pain was making me tired/sleepy. I have a garmin watch that i use to track my activities and i agree they are a great tool. Calories burned is one i track a lot

    A busy week with my move for movember run challenge:

    Monday, Day 2: 5k 35m 48s

    Tuesday: 3k at Lunch and 2k in the evening with my son

    Wednesday: 5k 34m 20s. Then out with the missus for 3 steady k of her c2 5k run.

    Thursday: 5K 34m 10s- New PB

    Friday: 5k with my 9yo son. A special one. 36m 26s , Then 3k with the missus steady for her couch to 5k

    Saturday: 5k in the rain with no headphones. 35m 3s

    Sunday: Got a call friday night that a few lads from the junior gaa team had seen my facebook post and were coming up to run with me Sunday morning. 5k in 32m 57s. Over a minute off my PB. We did 3 x 100m sprints after that.

    total run in the week 41.4km and €140 raised for Movember.

    Weight 15st 10.

    was very apprehensive about this before starting but after nailing my colours to the mast and announcing i was doing it on social media im coping better than i thought i would. The 5k with my son was great. He has better perserverance at 9 than i could ever imagine having. I enjoyed the run with the lads from the team also. A nice gesture to run with me.

    Sometimes making it public is a good way to help keep you accountable because real friends will be supportive. That was class that they came out and joined you on a run and the icing was smashing the PB.

    Great to have your son by your side as well :)

    Ive hit over 300 on my fundraising also this week so im delighted with that. Only 8 runs left now to complete. Im toying with the idea of going for a sub 30 5k on the last day or trying to go for 10k. i think both are achievable.

    Seriously impressed with the attitude

    5k a day everyday is hard going.
    The knees or hips at you?
