My PT life

Wednesday, 24 June 2015

I did my first ever 10k run on Sunday the 21st of June ( my birthday)
My time was not as amazing as some of the times in the group but I am proud of my time .
A little bit of background on me .
I do sponsored marathon walks but I do not RUN !
I do not even run for buses !
I do Zumba marathons for 3 hrs .
I do sponsored swims 22 miles in 26 days.
So the time I got could have been better if I had trained properly. I only did the first week of a seven week training plan :0(
But I am still happy with my time ;0)

Hello strangers

Hope you are all well .

When I changed jobs I took a pay cut 😞 .Quality of life is much better but I did have had to stop personal training with Ayo .

I have completed my 22 mile channel swim (equivalent) at Dulwich leisure centre over a total of 27 days .

I was swimming for the charity Aspire.

Aspire help people with spinal damage.

Which can happen to any of us at any time .

Got a new fitness band at Christmas , I've now got a garmin connect. so I wear the fuelband , garmin connect and garmin watch & heart rate monitor when training . Possibly a slight addiction to fitness gadgets . I like to put numbers to exercise 😊

For my birthday this year I have signed up for my first 10k RUN .

If you know me you will understand what a challenge this will be ... I don't run !!

It's a nike challenge for women that is actually on my birthday 21st june .

Life has been lots of fun so far speak soon 🎉🎉🎉

Update of where I'm at PT 2

Hi ,
Long time .
I'm still around just not been blogging .

Ok
I completed my second London moonwalk with mum back in May. 26.2 miles at night through London weather was awful ,wet and cold but we did it !

I then did my first 5k colour run with my family in wembley on the 1st of June .
I joined in a Bollywood event on a Sunday at Spitalfields market east London , lots of fun .

12th of July I took part in lewisham people's day and zumba'd in the heat again!

I am still training with Ayo every other week . I do zumba once or twice a week and boxfit once a week. I even own my own boxing gloves and mitts .

I am finishing the job that I started last year as it hasn't worked out as planned and I have secured a new job in a school for September closer to home ;0) . My family are extremely happy . Less money but sometimes it's the quality of life that counts .

I have found myself a new challenge to complete at the end of the year . I'm going to take part in Aspires swim the English Channel event to help raise money for people with spinal cord damage .

It's not the actual Channel , but it is 22 miles but over 12 weeks !
I always wanted to swim the Channel .
This way I can do the equivalent. It's about 20 lengths a day ,which I am going to do at Dulwich swimming baths in the evenings after work .
I start in September and finish in December .
She be fun and I should look great after :0)
I will try and write more often .
