Master Choe (that's pronounced Chay!) in da house?

I'm taking the frogs jnr to an interview with Master Choe tomorrow - he is a 9th level black belt (you get 10th when you die apparently) specializing in Tae Kwon Do - he is even in the Guinness Book of Records for training a 5 year old to black belt level! Now depending on the cost and the times etc. I may even join in - it's a good way to stretch the old bones!! Watch this space...

The waiter has crab legs !!

This week has been a tough one for training as Sam has been away a lot (she only got herself promoted!! :D ). We also went out for a meal last night - the company was excellent, the food average. Of course, when you go out to eat, you eat later than you normally would so this morning's run was a little slow and bloated! Not to worry though as this week we'll be able to train every day :) KMF---->

A change of pace.

Training has stepped up a notch over the past couple of weeks - we're moving faster over shorter distances (fastest lap is now 10"50') in order to increase our distance with speed (that made no sense, but you get the idea). This in turn leads to shin splints!!! Got that covered though, and I'll be bike training all week this week to rest them. I'm actually getting a tan this year!!!

Tough couple of weeks....

It's been a stressful time at the Froggy household. Mainly due to our 2 dogs being seriously ill - Toby (age 16) collapsed and was bleeding... he's fully recovered now though and back to wagging his tail. The following week Blue (age 7) had an uncontrollable cough and was struggling for breath - turns out his heart is failing (twice normal size)... we have medicine to keep it under control and he's been given 2-3 years according to the vets. They are both happy now though as they get medicine stuffed in cheese cubes every night :)
