So ... yesterday was a rest day, still feeling under the weather a bit. It says I should do some gentle sporting activity on my rest days like walking. Walking is boring.

So i went shooting guns instead!



This is me shooting a gun, proper good day out, really enjoyed myself, but I'm not sure I burned many calories!!

One of the biggest problems I face during the day is I'm constantly thinking about food, ALL the time every time I look out of the car window there is a picture of some scrummy food! It doesn't help when these wankers are texting me all the time either...













I would generally say I find quitting smoking easier than sorting my diet out. Quitting smoking is easy, i used to do it all the time!

In all seriousness I haven't really struggled this time, the first couple of days  I had a few hairy moments but today and yesterday I haven't really thought about it. I think if you really don't want to smoke and you can man out the first couple of days anyone can do it. For me the biggest problem has always been the anticipation of not smoking in the run up to quitting but once you do it, it'll be easier than you think.

Not eating on the other hand is shit, I want cheese and fish and chips and pizza. Instead for my lunch today i had mackerel and spinach. **yawn**

So after my days shooting i went home and sat in front of the telly and blew my nose all night, I really wanted to go out for a run though which I suppose is a good a thing, Im starting to look forward to my next run, which is tonight!! The last 2 miler then we are up to 3 miles COME ON!!!

Jason has lent me some shit dance music to run to so hopefully this will spur me on too...












Also i have been kindly lent a GoPro camera, if you don't know what one of these bad boys are it looks a bit like this...












The idea is i will wear it on my arm along with my phone my 'Map My Run' on so i can film bits and pieces out while I'm running, hopefully this will keep me occupied on the longer runs and enable me to post some funny videos on here of me blue in the face looking like I'm giving birth to a baby rhino.

Also I've lost 8 pounds?! I've worked out that if I carry on loosing weight at that rate I will weigh 0 by race day ... Brilliant!

Anyway over and out for now.
