So Long August, Bring on Spring :)

Well, winter is just about over which means my unmet August goals are over too.  I know I still have 5 days left, but I have been MIA for the past week because of a stupid hat that looks like this :

I was up early and dressed ready to get onto the treadmill then I came across the stupid hat lying in the doorway.  I bent over to pick it up and BAM, I got this shooting pain in my lower back and down the back of my legs.  I couldn't get up and ended up on the floor until someone decided to help me.

I have been to the doctors and they said that my back muscles are all "puffy and inflamed"  I was given some tablets and a round of acupuncture which has helped a little and I have to go back on Tuesday for another round with more needles and a longer session.

I knew the second I hurt myself that I wasn't going to be able to complete my August goals of 50 kms and 1000 mins of cardio and because there is no use crying over what can not be controlled I have moved on and set myself some new goals for Spring.   My aim is to complete 5ks a day in September, it's a big ask, but I know I can do it if I believe I can and put my mind to it.  I also know that if I can complete the 5ks a day goal then I will easily complete 1000 mins of cardio - the 2 go hand in hand very nicely.   Bring on spring -I am ready :)

Bring on Spring

I love the pink cherry blossoms that have already been blooming for 3 weeks, it's nice to see some some flowers covering the trees that have been bare for so long.
