On Friday 23 January I went public about my commitment to run a half-marathon. The 'Super six ready to start running' headline profiled a small group of Evening Post readers who had volunteered to support the Sport Nottinghamshire fitness campaign. Now everyone knew my weight and age and that both were likely to hold me back unless I did something about them - lose two stone and psychologically think myself 28!
I have signed-up to the Sport Nottinghamshire website www.sportnottinghamshire.co.uk/shapeupnotts
so my training progress can be logged over the next five months and impressive graphs will monitor my weight loss, BMI and general progress.
Last week I joined the West Bridgford Tennis Club gym http://www.west-bridgford-tennis-club.co.uk/and had my induction session - I was breathless just trying to remember the instructions. Will I ever get to love gyms.......?
Now it's snowing and best intentions of a nightly walk are on hold. The fireside is far more appealing!
About Me
- Louise Third
- I'm in need of a challenge this year, so decided to join 20,000 in the Experian Robin Hood Half Marathon - only I did so rather publicly through the Nottingham Evening Post. Now one of six 'trainee' runners to be followed in the Post, I must fit my preparation around running a PR company, travel, family and friends.
