Hi again
I had a very busy week in terms of running but also in terms of ideas for fundraising. Because the weather was shocking and wet the first half of the week was a no-go for running. I did do my early morning run on Friday and on Saturday I went along to a great drill class. A friend of mine who is an Ironman (!) draged me along and I had to overcome my embarassment but I am so glad I did. After a fast 20 minute warm-up we looked at the mechanics of running and did drills for every phase of the stride-cycle. Sounds very technical I know but made total sense to me (I am an Osteopath after all). I learnt heaps and I will definitely go again. Maybe I can run faster than I do at the moment. I will keep you posted!
Then I have been putting together a proposal for companies to exchange my skills as an Osteopath for their donation to CatWalk. I am kind of excited and a bit scared to go out there and promote myself - but hey that was part of the reason for embarking on this journey - to push my comfort zone on every level.
Unfortunately I have been less successful on the weight side of things. I really need to lose some to spare my joints and the last 2 weeks have been filled with baking and food (Arrggghh)
Ah well a new week has started.
Check out these links that show that running is more than just left foot - right foot.
cheers
