Andrea's Running Adventures

Week 1 run 3 today takes me to the end of week 1 of couch to 5k.
It was a tough run with the heat and being in work today in the heat but it'll be worth it in the end

Doing a test post (my Instagram had unlinked for some reason so hopefully it's now linking up again) so as well as running I'm back at the gym. This was Wednesday's session
Warm up on the treadmill (5 min walk)
Chest press, sitting lateral pull downs, chest supported dumbbell rows, standing face pulls

So I've been awful quiet as I've not been running much as I lost my mojo and been poorly but I was back out last night with the lovely bunch of amazing people at Warrington Plodders and did a nice 3.12 miles

If you are able to donate please do so, even if it's just £1 it all goes to helping guide dogs for the blind and will really help to keep me motivated whilst training for this run, thank you

London Landmarks Half Marathon 2024 Help Andrea Lewis raise money to support Guide Dogs

Back in the gym for the 2nd time this week, gutted there wasn't any running last night due to ice and the cold temperatures. Tonight's session was upper body strength so weights

Easing back into running with the fabulous guys at felt good to be back out there even in the rain! I am going to smash this half marathon in April!

So with less than 100 days to my half marathon I've kick started my training again, back in the gym tonight for some cross training as out running tomorrow with Warrington plodders, although I have been out walking too!

Training for next year's half is now starting to roll, need to shift some of the excess padding 🤣 and I'll be able to move faster!
Don't forget you can sponsor me on just giving the money I'm raising is going to guide dogs

Not the best picture of the moon this evening but I was out running with was nice to be back out there, not liked being poorly the last couple of weeks

I did it!
In 1hr 32 mins I'll take that not run properly since April when I did the London landmarks half, and then knackered my calf. I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for 2 of the lovely leaders from Warrington plodders they were by my side every step of the way and perfect examples of run leaders!
