This heat has been the hardest from the past two years of exercise. You have to fight the slump in energy and remain as hydrated as you can. I do feel that the majority of it has seen me push as hard as normal, but there have been times when it just got too much. But as of the writing og this, my weight cam in at 16 stone, 4.5 pounds (103.6kgs,) which means that for the fourth month, the weight has yoyo’d back again. This is a potentially great thing, but there is always the worry that a slimming body, with muscle growth could be occuring. These don’t mix well, certainly not for a healthy diet. It is becoming more apparent that I must listen to what my body is telling me, and if I was to give a verdict, I’d say that this is the case, as my leg strength has definately increased!
I am not too worried, at this point, as I don’t feel ill and I am still strong with my running. Being the Summer Break in the UK, it means that swimming is just not as easy to get to, so I am mostly running with the weekly gym visit. What is important is that Brina has suffered with less walks, so that’s been a must, whenever the sun slows down! I think that with the change in my circumstances and time coming in, I will need to plan and have some restraint on how I do things. I don’t think it’ll change a lot, just through my times. It is not until the end of September that I am running another official 10K, but I am marshalling a triathlon before the next post. I will update my progress then.

So, that’s it for another month! The time is flying, by the weight is, relatively, controlled. I feel healthy, and that is what matters. My body can tell me all I need to know, I just need to trust it! The way I think, overrides a lot of this, and so I have to work hard to stop it. It’s on the right track, and I hope that anything I write here can help somebody, now, or in the future.
