I ate some cheese today. It was left on Charlie’s plate and I couldn’t bear to let it go to waste. But I don’t see this as a complete failure (I’m certainly not going back to day one!), just a little slip, and an understandable one, because.. cheese. This is the longest I’ve ever been without cheese ever. The previous record was 18 hours.
This lack of competitive nature is what stops me from improving more at running. I can’t imagine ever teaching the point of injury or even tears. I’ve never had to break through “the wall” because I don’t get to it in the first place. At work we are putting together a team to enter the Great West Run, a famously hilly half marathon in Exeter this October. With that as my motivation I went out and ran 15k today.
It was a beautiful sunny morning and I ran a hilly route that I would never even have considered before, but I was rewarded with beautiful views. This was after having just a smoothie and some walnuts for breakfast.
I came home ravenous and started off with some rice cakes, before moving on to a sausage sandwich (yum!).
Dinner was a shepherds pie made with quorn mince and topped with sweet potato mash (and no cheese, apart from for the boys: my downfall).
Not my most successful day, but a good healthy day, which can only be a good thing.

I have a huge thing about not wasting food, so I get you on the cheese. I hesitate to be the bearer of bad news but did you know that Quorn isn’t vegan in the UK? It all has egg in it in this country (they have a vegan burger in the USA but it doesn’t seem to have made its way over yet). There are other frozen minces that are vegan though, so don’t worry that you can’t have it any more while you’re doing the challenge!
