Second week of the challenge and it started off strong! The Bondi Crew are doing the same circuit each Monday morning for each week of the Challenge. Last week I manged to get out 3 laps, but this week, I managed to finish a full extra lap (with each lap taking me just under 8 mins now instead of 10 ) - so I was really happy about. It's great to see some improvement after only one week - and gives me some motivation for training hard for the rest of the week!

I went back Monday night for a second round of punishment and did a weights session down at Bronte. My trainers Kimmy and Troy have told me that I should be trying to get in at least two weights sessions a week as they help to burn heaps of calories, both before and after training and also will help me to increase my muscle tome. This was the first time I did two sessions with the Crew in one day and at the end of the day my legs felt like lead.
The running in the circuit in the morning was really tough. I really think there are some people who are natural runners and some that are not. Don’t get me wrong one of my main goals of doing this challenge is to build up my fitness so I can run longer distances. But even when I came off Biggest Loser and my fitness was supposed to be at its peak I really struggled with running. It just seems to hurt everything. But I will remain positive and hope by the end of the six weeks it will get a bit easier. Off to bed to get a good night rest for the run /swim tomorrow.
