After realising in January that I was becoming a bona fide chunker, I decided it was time to start on the fitness wagon - and this time not just to play at it.
Rick and I took up running with the specific aim of entering the BUPA Manchester 10K - which we both did. Unfortunately, I had been injured right up until two days before the race and I posted a rather disappointing time of 1:09. I did, however, raise £500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, so it wasn't all bad.
Thankfully, training is back on track and I ran a 6K trail race at Castle Howard this weekend in 32:28. The coming weekend I am running in the City of Manchester 10K and I'll be getting under 60 minutes if it kills me :)
On a very positive note, I have lost 24lbs so far and I am not quite the bloater that I was!

Go you! Was very proud of you on Sunday for coming in way under your target time. Hope you can get some training in this week while you're away - I'll be cheering you on at the 10k this Sunday!
For all interested third parties I can confirm that Rob really was *well* on his way to becoming a Master Chunker in January.
But he has turned it around, so gogogo Rob! The only chunker left around the offices is me, still weighing in at 20% body fat :( Rob is well beating me there, the swine!
Cheerio
Rick
