PT Session!

Here's what happened ....

Met PT Dave. Nice, young, my height (bonus!), blonde and muscles!

5mins warm up on rower whilst telling him I've run for almost 5yrs, done a couple of marafuns, want to lose at least 2st etc.

Then he tells me what we are going to do boxing!
Then some boxing "circuits"
then some weights

So 1-1 boxing (never done that before), 3 sets of 1mins doing punches then "Hooks" (?) with him holding pads. This made me sweat buckets, HR hit 192 and arms ached.

Then 2 rounds of:1min boxing against the kick boxing piler thing that stands on the floor1min stepping on a stepper then throwing 2 punches and stepping downthen 10 sit ups with 2 punches at top of the sit up. To say this was exhausting is an understatement!

My arms turned to jelly and even now, hours later, they ache and I've lost all strength!

The boxing was followed by squats using a gym ball on the wall, upright row, chest press and curls all on the ball oh and some other weights thing too which I can't remember what it's called! I was literally dripping like a tap!

So now I will tell mum I want money for b'day and will book in for 6 weekly sessions (get 6x 30mins for the price of 5 that way)! In the mean time I need sleep oh and some new arms!

Oooh, ooooh, boxing is just ACE!! I used to go to a marvellous class and you should have seen my arms! It also really tightens up your waist/midriff area...and is soooo good for getting rid of all that pent up energy.

You'll become addicted ;)

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th
