Couch to 5k

I didn't really want to post about this until it was showing some signs of success. But I began to work through Zombie Run 5k. I found it hard, to say the least. I began to cause knee injury and cause some muscular issues. But that's not stopping me. I have given myself space to recover, while maintaining a regular brisk walk daily for 30 minutes and I am about to get back into the saddle. It's been going on and off for months now. But having only done walking for a couple of weeks I am ready to go back to running again. However in doing so, I must recognise that my body is very unfit, I have high blood pressure and I need to take the course at a slower speed than most people because I need to achieve more changes in my body than most people do.

Singing Course

So anyone that knows me. I sing... a lot. But my singing is mostly average. I find I often get moisture in the lungs, probably from being overweight and the impact this has on the heart. So I have to deal with a few issues. I hope to use this article to record my work as I go and keep me aware of whatever the last thing I was doing when I come back to the course. I find blogging helps me keep focused somehow and I like to be open with people about myself so I might as well publish the results.

Machu Picchu

Me and my best friend Charita are up for climbing Machu Picchu we have set our sights high and it's quite a lofty goal to go along the Incan trail. We have never done anything like it before. In the mean time we are looking at climbing in the UK starting with Box Hill on 22nd March 2020 and Blencathra on 3rd April 2020.

Third Kung Fu exam

So I completed my Third major Kung Fu exam on Sunday 2nd February 2020 and passed! I'm very glad. I am mostly impressed that I have kept this up consistently and I'm now well into my third year.

Kung Fu Foundation Complete

After months of hard work I finally managed to get my red belt. That means sparring and harder work to come. We are all very proud of ourselves and I want to take this moment to state no matter what someone's size or physical fitness if they truly want to they can set aside some time to learn a sport. Even someone like me!
