Lifestyle Family Fitness

Well I took the plunge... it's really difficult to train every day when you have kids and your partner goes away a lot on business, so I decided to join a GYM ("Gime? what the heck's a Gime?" - Homer J) It's surprisingly nice, has great Kids facilities (2 hours a day!!), 100's of treadmills etc. and it's half the price of the Y .... oh, and you can get all naked in the tanning machine - I've never tanned my butt before !!! :D

Anyway with William back to school tomorrow I shall be starting up my morning with a workout that isn't at 5:30 in the am ... YIPPEE!!!!

Back to School... in July? Is it ESY? Or the regular school year?

We just ordered a bowflex last week. Should be interesting!

I am just gonna go ahead and skip any comments about the naked butt tanning...

As for the naked butt, you disappoint me!

Guess I was just sort of wondering how we would ever know if you were telling the truth about your tan bum? Take your word for it? Is that the idea then?

And wow!! Fifth Grade!! You must be so proud!

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...

Well here we are in all our glory (and a lot of pain in the middle pic!) Thanks to my Garmin GPS watch (early Birthday present!) I was able to pace us to perfection.... we started out a little fast - had to pull in the reigns a little as all the newbs were a little over-zealous !!!! 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
