Getting help getting fit

Went for my free (1 of 3) personal training session today to determine how fit I am, where improvements (what? I'm perfect already!!) can be made etc. Brad seems like a nice guy - couldn't get him to smile though. Anyway I had 'white-coat syndrome' which screwed up some of the test results. Apparently my blood pressure was a little high and my heartbeat recovery was poor (I shall be keeping an eye on it, don't worry!!!), but overall I'm in a good place - my current health age is 2 years younger than I am, my body fat %age is low. It will be interesting to see what I would get for my $89 sessions if I were to go with the personal trainer regularly.... honestly, I think I'll use the 3 freebies to get pointed in the right direction and go from there.

I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two! One of the things that motivated both of us was the crowd - hearing your name being called out by complete strangers is a little weird at first, but eventually you start to lean on the great s...

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...
