Evenin all,
Well the training is underway-ish, I went for a Body Combat session today at the gym, although this isn't new to me as such we now have a new routine to follow so everyone feels a little lost but once you know what is being shouted at you all is good, I was also sporting a rather attractive bright green Europcar t-shirt given to me by my lovely man Jon... free advertising? Yes why not... They won a leg of the Tour De France don't ya know :)
So after my body combat session I booked in a re-program for the gym at 6:30 Wednesday Morning, I have warned them I am training for the Marathon and so will need to build stamina and endurance... we'll have to wait and see what ideas she has for me.
As for the smoking, I had 5 yesterday, this is good for me... and today just 3... tomorrow I plan to have none, great idea in theory but being at work may make this a challenge, plenty of coffee I think and trying to stay off the phones a little, save screaming at any users who can't figure out how to re-start their PC without assistance.
So all good and positive so far, well except for the young skinny gym instructor I spoke to today who said "Oh god, I couldn't run a Marathon" while I was thinking if you can't what chance do I have... but I figure if I can get through an hour of spin or body combat and still walk, whats about 3 hours on top of that right?
So far I am loving this, I am loving the idea of running the Marathon, and I am loving the focus of having something major to work towards, but will I feel this way once I really get stuck into my training when my feet are killing me?!
On a side note, I fancy getting my feet nibbled by those "Doctor" or "Gurra Rufa" fish for those who have no idea what I am on about take a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_fish but has anybody had it done? Whats it like? Did your feet fall off? I think my feet need some kind of pedicure before the training really kicks off, and will likely need this on an on-going basis, who knows...
Recap, no more ciggies from this point on, Spin session booked for Tuesday and a re-program booked for Wednesday, I'll let you all know how I get on.
