Keep Blogging - Keep Running!

A number of people have been asking me to keep writing about my various fitness goals and activities on my blog, so let's get going again.  Over the past year, with the help and support of Allan and my family, I have completed two half-marathons and aim to complete a full marathon this year.  I have significantly increased my strength and core training and have been on some amazing runs with Allan.  Curiously, I like hills....  Allan is completing his PT qualification - he is so passionate about health and fitness and is an awesome coach!  This morning, we were at the gym at 6am - Allan put me through a fitness assessment and then a medicine ball program.  I was rather pleased that I was rated as 'excellent' in terms of fitness for my age (and also 'excellent' against 25 year old bracket)!  There is something quite satisfying about doing medicine ball throw-downs and push-ups on the medicine ball so early in the morning before work.  Tomorrow morning, 6am run around the lake - hopefully the temperature will get above zero!
