Weigh in day

So it's Friday and my weigh in day. I'm feeling confident that I have lost some weight as this week has been full of exercise and also I feel that I haven't eaten much. I weigh in at 1kg less than last week. Very happy. I'm now 13 stone and 3/4 pound. That is 5lbs weight loss in two weeks. Feeling great about that.
Today is my cycle and run day and given that I have lost some weight I'm really looking forward to it.
It has snowed but I'm hoping by after lunch the snow melts. Come 14:00 the snow is melting on most of the paths so I decide to go for it. I do 13km on the static bike which takes me 30 mins. That bike is OK, I'm pretty sure once I get my real bike at the weekend I wont be doing 13k in 30 mins..

I put on three layers and head out for the run. Its pretty cold, must be about -3 as my face hurts. This is about a 5.6k run and takes me round Brighton Hill area. The first part is quite nice and a 2km run down a long road. The next 1k has no path which means I have to run on grass.. Fine in the summer but no good when its wet or in this case has snow. My feet kept slipping making the climb up the hill twice as hard. By the time I got to the top I was done in. Determined not to stop I carried on. By the last 1k I was feeling ready to stop, the little voice in my head chipped in and told me not to be a pussy and keep going.. Made it to the end and although my achilles was aching again I felt good.. Did some stretches and felt pretty good.. Looking forward to the time when I can do the 5k without feeling knackered. I have to remind myself I'm cycling for 30 mins before this run..
