Saturday 30th September

We had our first training session this morning and it was rather... umm... unusual. We trialed different holds and decided on the estonian being the one where I least felt like I was going to land on something not so padded, like my head and the one Dave (Jeremy) could run with (literally). Steve -for those of you who don't know, Steve has been my PT for over a year and is now our trusty consultant - had us running over a hurdle, up and over the stage and across crass mats (simulating water). In between we did normal type exercises. Apart from Steve laughing and me bouncing up and down Dave really did all the work, which isn't necessarily a bad thing *lol* My thighs are sore'ish from being slung over somebody's shoulders but it was noticable how in sync even breathing becomes the more you practise. Our times actually got better as we went and we became more used to it. Steve and Dave have decided that we'll work up to the distance and getting the time under 1.5minutes. They're yet to work out how he can jog with 50kgs effectively (we ruled out him using the treadmill with me on his back) and as for me I simply need to workout rather than all that other fun stuff I keep doing that leaves me stuffed at the end of the day and not longing for exercise... should be easy :)
