Cheesecake!

Did my usual 3km run today. Managed to shave a minute off my time, which is choice but I want to take off more! It was a bit tough today, probably because my legs were a wee bit tired from dong wall-sits yesterday, or, as I just found out, 'phantom chairs', which are the same thing but with a different name. Man they hurt! So I didn't push as hard as I would have liked today, but still ran the whole thing :)

Then I went out for lunch with my mum and had New York style berry cheesecake! Om nom nom hahahaha not very healthy but there you are. When I go out I usually strive to get something healthy, but today I got whatever the hell I liked because I wanted it. I believe that if you diet, then you just end up wanting crazy foods because you are denying yourself of them. If you eat what you want, then you don't get those same cravings - as long as you don't go mental!



























Another thing I noticed today is that my knees are starting to get a bit sore. I have Chondromalacia patella which means that because of a muscle imbalance in my thighs, my kneecap rubs against my femur. I'm not supposed to play too much netball (whoops!) and I have certain exercises that I'm supposed to do often... but I haven't done them in months which explains the ache I have in my knees. If I want to keep running, playing netball, and give biking a go, then I definitely need to be doing my exercises!!!

Some good ones are wall-sits, squats with a netball between your knees, and calf raises on a book or a step. These are the ones that I'm going to try to add in to every strength training routine I do.
