Sexy on hold...

Its been a week....a very not ayoba week! Because Im sick I cant go to bootcamp or go running!!

I thought maybe tomorrow I might go walk with Njabs, but after sweating like a little piglet on a quick run to the mall this morning, I guess that aint happening now.

So tonight I had a Viralchoice fizzy, medlemon and Cinnamon oil (One day flu cure). Before bed I'll have an anti-histamine and hope by morning some miracle will have occured!

Taking it up...

I never updated the end of last week, not for lack of commitment but rather distractions of the male kind. ;)

So on  Thursday last week we did our first beach run and kept about the same pace. The weather was absolutely stunning, compared whats going on outside right now...miraculous even.

Friday was a rest day, the calve or whatever it is still acting up. We planned our training and decided on races to do in the next few months. So we have a goal.

This morning was the start of camp again. Eish! I swear the weather turned to test me...whats up with that!?

In the midst of it all we had a GI Jane movie skit, that bit out in the rain on the parade ground. Very very cool! It wasnt a walk in the park though, you'd think its week 1 and we start all over again but the body I have discovered is a sneaky piece of equipment...mind of its own....duh!

So, in an hour we are on the road again. Its the first time we are now adding it to the boodcamp regime, will probably be knackered the next week or so but as history has shown the energy level does eventually adjust.

Not sure if I've had enough water today, think I'll gulp some, an hour should be enough.

Whooop whooop!

Life lessons and running

So today I learnt that there are life lessons to be learned from running.

We had a great session, warmed up nicely and then had such a strong run. Last night, before I fell asleep I had that 'meeting' with myself about today's run, cause yesterday was kinda hard and I was scared I'd lose the will or drive. So, I tapped into the aspirations I've had, I acknowledged the gratitude for a healthy and able body.

During the day I made sure I ate enough, protein and shake mostly and took my multivitamin. And PLENTY of water! As I wasnt having those cramps of yesterday again!

And we did so well. Njabu paced us nicely and slowly we are starting to see the rhythm.

So the lesson observed, even if you have one bad day, whats to say tomorrow wont be fantastic!

The sun will shine again!

Touch stone

Yesterday I started running. It was warm summers day, and my running buddy and I took to the road towards Jonkershoek. We kept going for an hour, afterwards keen to know how far we went, we drove back up. And it was a surprising 5.5km! We were so chuffed and in awe of ourselves.


So today we were at it again, we did 8km. It wasnt planned so, but we felt good and the views in Jonkershoek were amazing so we kept going.


I had aches and pains, mere little bodily irritations although my spirit was strong and I wasnt tired.


Its unfortunate that it gets dark so quickly now. Come summer its going to be great.


So two new challenges have been highlighted. We are doing a 5km race in a month and we are going all the way to Jonkershoek reserve in the next few weeks on a Saturday morning. Whoop whoop!


I am barely in the swing of things and my She-ro, Ironlady suggest I do Two Oceans with her next year. Nothing like making a commitment to someone else to get you in the game.

Dreams...

Today I saw a girl friend's Ironman pictures. Looking at it, I actually have visions of me doing that as well.


I dont know whats on with me lately, I actually have these aspirations to take it a biggggg notch up and one day enter these things.


Its a fine line between self-depricating and instilling limiting beliefs and describing how uncharacteristic this is.


Its week 4 and tomorrow is cardio and leg day! Whooop whoop!

Alter ego's

It has been on my mind for a while to start a blog about my journey to bring sexy back. I have an ongoing tug o' war with my one of my alter ego’s. Can I have more than one?


Well, even if I didn’t want ANY, I have two that I know of.
But now, when I finally have the time to write it is during a slump in my resolve! Which means the lazy one has taken over.


The lazy one. Every morning when I have to get up at 5.10 am to get up and go to bootcamp, she start acting up.


The other day, she had me get back into bed and switch the light off, resolved, with a footstomp on the ground. "I am NOT going out the rain".


In the end I won!
