I have week to go before my 48th birthday and as I said previously, I intend getting back into shape for the Brecon Ultra http://www.beaconsultra.com/index.html on the 19th November 2011. Last year the team I was competing with (Witney Roadrunners) were the fastest overall, but because of the one hour handicap given to teams which included ladies, we came second. With a slightly different line-up we are going to try again to go one better this year, but there is a very strong field again.
I have had a few rubbish runs over the last few months when I have felt a significant drop in my energy levels. I'm not sure if this is viral or just age creeping up on me!! I've have had some blood tests done to see if there are any underlying problems and the results will take a week or so.
My personal training business is slowly but surely picking up and time is always very limited leaving little time to just lounge around, but I prefer it that way.
I am off on a kettlebell course this week. Although I already use kettlebells extensively, I am looking forward to updating my skills and making use of the latest thinking both with my clients and in my own personal training.
Happy running
