Mt Cootha…

So part of the Bridge to Brisbane training included running Mt Cootha which we ran today. I had a drop off 2km up the “mountain” and so ran around 8km in total. It took us 1hr 6mins roughly to run that and we were well impressed with ourselves considering it was our first time running it. We were thinking we might do it again after the race… if we were up for another challenge!

Considering buying this. I want a new jacket and some decent running pants. I finally bought a new pair of runners and I am still trying to break into them. It doesn’t help that I have some serious blister on the bottom of my foot. Ouch! It looks gross……

Anyway, 2 weeks to go and I’m getting very excited! I just hope the blister goes away……..

I’m gonna be a Reformer

I had my first Pilates Reformer class today and my god… I like it. Going to try it again next week. It is an interesting piece of equipment. It has pulleys, springs, a headrest and a footrest. Apparently Joseph Pilates converted hospital beds into a piece of equipment to allow bedridden patients the ability exercise their arms and legs to help them strengthen their bodies.

Melbourne on Friday! Yay!
