9 holes...

Grüessech,

No, I didn’t play half a round of golf, the 9 holes relates to how many holes I’ve had to put into my belt for work! Yes, on Wednesday my pants were falling down again, and so I went back to the shoe fixing place & had my 9th hole put in the belt. On Friday I went back again and had another 3 put in my casual belt too!

So what’s been going on this past week? Here are the main things…

I rode my pushbike to work & home Tuesday & Wednesday – (Monday I was at Chatswood) Thursday, see below & Friday is scooter day!

Wednesday I had the group session, doing cardio and circuit type work with Ben & the others from the competition. I got up a good sweat which was great.

Thursday was the first group for City to Surf training. We ran to Wentworth Park past the Fish Markets, then did a variety of exercises, and various training sessions, then ran back home. It was great, and I survived the whole group which was awesome!! Thursday night saw a competition – Neil previously ran from work to my place in 19 mins, and I did it in 29 mins – so he gave me a 10 min head start and the challenge was to beat each other. Despite the work I did at lunch time, I manage to blitz by past best time, and do a 25.5!!!! Awesome! And yes, I won!

Friday was the day off, was also feeling quite sore from the previous day’s activities.

Saturday I was REALLY sore. I had trouble just getting up and down! I had Ben echoing in my head though when deciding if I should do anything, and though it was better to do something light, than nothing. So I scootered to Centennial Park, and walked a lap, gradually getting faster. It ended up being 40 mins, and I felt better for it after – less sore too!

Sunday I came into the gym, doing 40 mins interval training on the cross-trainer, followed by 4x 500 metre sessions on the rower (averaging under 2mins), then quite a few weights! A 2 hours session all up!

With my weight, I think I’m in a slow down period right now – I did not lose anything between last Monday & today – but that’s OK. I’m feeling really good about where I am, and if I just keep it up, then the weight will continue to fall.

I’ll update again mid week!

See y’all

Pete
