the challenge: week 29 - an update
It�s true, I�m back, your eyes aren�t deceiving you. I had a little hiatus due to various reasons, illness, holiday, illness again, (and usually I never get ill!), I think this old body was trying to tell me something.
Anyway, over the weekend I had to do some writing for something un-blog related and it actually made me realise that I had to get my blogging mo-jo back, I love writing but I just need to dedicate more time to it, I have a real desire to make this blog a regular little writing hot-spot, but I�m beginning to wonder if it needs a little overhaul. Maybe a new design? I definitely need to improve my photography, and I need to focus on my content. While I�m not expecting it to become a job, or make money from it or anything like that, I�d like to be much more proud of it than I am now. So if you have any suggestions, please let me know, I could definitely benefit from some constructive criticism.
But enough of all that, what about this little challenge I�ve got coming up? It�s two and a half weeks to go, and I�m definitely not �two and a half weeks to go ready�. Having had a few weeks out due to the afore mentioned reasons, my fitness levels have definitely dropped, my tummy�s developing more of a podge and my endurance levels seem to be at an all time low. I attempted a proper run for the first time in 5 weeks at the weekend, with good intentions of reaching 5k, I bowed out at just over 4�2 months ago I�d got myself up to 10k!!!
I�m not going to let that set back get me down though, and I�m confident I�ll still manage Total Warrior, I�m just a little disappointed it had to go down hill so close to the big event. However, there�s a chunk of sponsorship money relying on my getting my ass round this course, and there�s a pint of beer at the end so that in itself is worth pushing for!
So what am I doing about it? Getting back on it of course! Hitting up circuits classes, attempting to get these legs back running and throwing a few yoga classes in in between to build up my strength and flexibility.
I'm definitely not going to breeze around this course, but I'll finish it whether it kills me.
Any this little space on the big wide web? Well I'm going to try (I ain't promising) to be updating this spot more often, so please keep coming back :)
