Sawn Rocks Reward

It has been a busy week. After feeling so weird  on my last posted walk, I removed the inner soles from my runners and continued on with no further issues at all.
Achievements this week:

• Completed C25K Week 3!
• Reached Sawn Rocks on my Virtual Map, 56 km from my house!
• Achieved January's goals of losing at least 1kg, keeping on walking and staying off chocolate for the month!

Woohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

My chosen reward was a drive out to Sawn Rocks for some photos and a picnic with my DH Michael. We only left in the afternoon, and enjoyed the peaceful 2km round trip walk to get to the rocks. They are an amazing sight and are volcanic rocks which somehow formed perfect hexagonal columns. This cliff face just sprouts out of the ground above a river bed that has some water in at the moment due to the rain.

 

 

Taking the self portrait was quite a giggle! I had to set the camera, the run up the rock, across the water and up the rock we were sitting on. It took a couple of tries to make it, and in one photo, I'm actually falling off :)

 

So another 30-something kms to go to my next checkpoint which is the Rocky Creek Glacial area. And I'm well on the way already.

I'm changing up my walk/run plan a little as I'm not covering much ground on the C25K plan and I want a few more running intervals. So this week, I will be doing my own bridging week of Run 3 min, Walk 1.5 min x5, then next week, I will start the Podrunner Freeway to 10k plan, still covering my 5k route though. I think it will work out, but I'll keep you posted.

The planned Color Run in Newcastle in May is shaping up to be lots of fun. We have a few more additions to our team, and Michael has agreed to come along as a spectator. I' m quite excited!!
My February Goals:

• Keep away from pies, Maccers and KFC
• Keep on running (Able to run 6 minutes by the end of February)
• Lose another kg!
