6 July – Week 8 – Sneaking extra session in

Had a very early start to the day arriving at the Gilletts Get Fit Studio at 5 am. Only two Get Fitters joined in, worked hard and really worked up a good sweat. Later when I was at work it didn’t even feel as though I had a heavy workout earlier on. Then received some good news. My times were e-mailed to me for the league session I had with the race walkers with the KZN Masters Association. I did 5 kms in 37.59 mins which was 16 secs within the qualifying time for the 55 to 60 age group for KZN Colours. In January I’ll be 55. I need to shave off 2.06 mins for the age category I’m currently in now. Shouldn’t be a problem with the correct training. I have been invited to attend a coaching session with Ollie Mundell in Winston Park on Saturday morning at 6 am. So I’ll be changing my Get Fit session to Friday this week.
