This all kinda started a month or so ago, was on facebook and checking out my darling biddys photos of some mud run thing she did, decided to see if I could find out more about it so usuing clue from pictures found the website http://www.toughguyandgal.co.nz/ which is what she had done, checked out the videos and thought HELL YEAH!!! looks awesome but OMG I'm so unfit. Looked at the dates decided the furthest one away (6 months from then) and decided yep Im going to do this. Mentioned it to a friend later that night, and talked her into it too, both figured it was a good goal to work towards so here we are....
Started going walking, just locally round the park, down to daycare etc. we have then decided to do the SPARC REAL women duathalon (6 weeks away, down to 2 weeks now) Got onto Johns bike and have been getting used to it, and also walking. Also got myself a cross trainer which is in Ethans room which on the days he is at daycare when TJ goes down for his morning nap I jump on adn do a bit. My fitness has dramatically inproved over the last 4 weeks. At the stat 5 mins on cross trainer was about my limit, Last time i was on (havent had time this week... I know slack) but anyway last time I did 10KM in 28 minutes. and it felt hard but surviveable.
Today I did the longest ride I have ever done... 9km... (which isnt actually that huge, but a big deal for me) took me 26minutes, went aling upperharbour drive heading west, round the roundabout and back to the car which was parked at the start. It was hard... but I did it!!! I stopped twice to have a drink, only for a minute each time though, not very good at the drinking while riding yet.
