T-19

Shit.
Including today, there are only 19 workout's left in FIYL.
I know how crucial each one is so I think getting motivation up to the right levels isn't going to be a problem when there are so few left. I just need to keep myself at the level I've reached for the last couple of nights because when I wake up on Tuesday 1st May there will be no exercise card for me to follow or email waiting for me telling me what to eat. This brings the next steps sharply into focus and I'm looking forward to working out what elements we take forward into a more sustainable regime when real life begins again.

Lots going on toward the end of April as I'm moving house on the 28th. Annoyingly I've also got a work trip to London pencilled in on 26th and 27th, not ideal timing for my last few days of the diet side of things or getting packed up to move!

As inferred, great workout last night, started with 3k in 11:51, 20 secs shaved off my previous timed 3k. I honestly have no idea how that helps me run the half marathon in 6 weeks time but I DO like beating PB's!!! Rode the wave of exhaustion after that to fire through my sets. I think the card for last night tried to get us to do 3 sets of 27 pistol squats per leg. It's safe to say I'm nowhere near there but I've devised my own little leg superset incorporating as many pistols as poss (about 8 per leg) and then 25 normal squats and 20 lunges per leg. Seems to do the job, managed it 3 times over last night. I've been using the cable pulley apparatus at the gym for a lot of my band exercises recently. I find it gives me more flexibility to complete sets to failure when I can alter the resisatance so specifically. I'll talk to Kev about it at some point.

Day 71 Picture is up, I don't think there's much difference from 2 weeks prior.
Below is a snap from the 9th tee of the new course at St Andrews on Saturday.

DO YOUR 8MA's, JAMES!!!!!
