Run. Eat. Repeat.

I'm Sophie, a 23 year old Londoner living and studying in Manchester. Join me on a journey of culinary discovery and watch me try to run and lift weights.

BodyPump last night was AMAZING!!! I really didn’t want to go because I had/have loads of writing to do and I feel a bit under the weather, but I had pre-paid so it would have been a waste of money to skip it.

SO GLAD I WENT! I used the same weight as last week which was fine. I struggled on the chest and tricep tracks but that’s okay. The others were good and I was in #beastmode for the back track!! I love it!

Had a nice chat with the instructor after about how he did the Chester Half at the weekend (he was really disappointed at a 1:40) and he’s doing the Great Manchester Run next weekend (the 10k I did last year). 

Not that sore this morning (unlike last week when I couldn’t straighten my arms for 3 days) but boy can I feel my glutes! 

Haven’t been posting much because I have a whole shit-ton of essays to write!

3 essays

12,000 words total

Currently at 3899 (8101 to go)

I have like 11 days (minus 3.5 because I’m at a conference)

Oh and I’m going to BodyPump again tonight … uh-oh

Despite struggling to sit down/stand up, put my coat on and generally move due to body pump yesterday, I’ve decided to sign up for another class next week. It’s probably the last one I’ll be able to go to as I’m at a conference the following week then MOVING AWAY the week after that *sob*

I tried to foam roll my quads and IT band but it was just far too painful. Biceps and triceps are feeling… interesting. 

Makes a change from death by hamstrings after kettlebell class!

Guess who signed up for the FIRST COLOR RUN IN THE UK

ME!! WOOOO

(Although I’d be a lot happier if they had spelled the word ‘colour’ right.)

BodyPump has destroyed me. Tomorrow is going to be hell.
