Dedication is what I call this

This weekend, I've been on an amazing course to get new ideas on how to grow my business.

3 intense and full on days, and on Friday, although I was supposed to do my strength and conditioning session, we were invited for dinner.

Which meant I had to push my workout to yesterday evening. At the end of the day, the people on the course wanted to go for a drink, but I had to turn it down.
When I got home, the last thing that was on my mind was to have a workout.

I sat down with a cuppa tea, and after a short recovery, I changed and went to the studio.

Part of my workout was 50 skips. Well, I can't remember when the last time I did some skipping, but I wasn't bad, but wasn't good at it neither. Definitely room for improvement.

On Monday mornings, when I'm in Oakhill Park with my novice running group, there is this guy who uses one of the tennis courts to skip.
A few months ago, I bumped into him after one of his sessions and he told me he was a cyclist and uses the skipping to improve his endurance and leg speed.
He skips non stop for over 1h!!!!!

So compared to him, there is definitely room for improvement :-)

But the workout went well, and I felt much more awake afterwards. It just reminded me I did the right choice of pushing myself to do the workout. You ALWAYS feel so much better after a workout.

Tonight, it's a 2mile run. Again, it will be after my course finishes, so won't be before 8pm. Let's see how that goes.

Am still waiting for the official confirmation from the Children's Trust, but I know I have a place. But until then, I can't setup a fundraising page. Hopefully when I do, you'll be inspired enough by my efforts to donate something towards my efforts and journey!.

    1. Thanks Wendy. There is still a long way to go. But at least I'm doing it. It's only been just under 2 weeks, so hopefully the novelty won't wear off ;-)
