Rain, No Rain!

Well here I am looking out at the sky.....rain one minute and then the next bright sunshine.  Welcome to NZ.  The land where one street is beautiful weather and the next it is raining.  But I love it.  So right now the sky is blue, and I am contemplating walking to the gym.  I will walk to the gym, but I will take a jacket and an umbrella.

This is a great time of year for me.  It is at the end of the season, but it is a good time to get stuck into the gym.  By putting some good solid hours in here now!!  the upcoming season, will start off strong.  Working with my trainer, Becs Underdown, who luckily today had a gap and I managed to grab it!!!  I am in at the Bodysmart Gym a few times a week and one of those times is with Bec.  It is sooooooooooo great working with a personal trainer as they really know how to work you, and they really know what is best for you!!  the individual.  I have been working with becs....forever, and she knows right now in november what I need to do...and then again she knows just what to give me the weeks leading into a race too. 

RIght now I think it is all CORE.  CORE is everything.  Even if you are not a sporty person, but even for the everyday person, imagine if your core was strong, you would never get tired, your posture would be soooooooooooo much better, and all your extremities would be strong too.  You could work all day long.....is that good or bad!!  Well, maybe you will be able to work lots hours and then also have enough energy for play too.

So I will be off in a few minutes to walk to the gym, umbrella in one had, and drink bottle in the other.  Walking is a great form of exercise too.  A good warmup for me, so when I get to the gym, I can work hard for an hour!!  I love it.

Take care out there
