Blog

Well as you know I’m not very good at these blogs but here  goes for the last one.

I did check my weight at start of motivator and  again today, no change but taking into account of all the Christmas nights out etc I reckon that’s quite good actually! Discovered swimming, going to keep it up once a week, but not do a mile everytime! Last year I thought I might do a Parkrun once a month but that did not happen so will try harder this year. I did do Strathclyde Parkrun last week and that was because of reading about everyone doing their thing so I got out.

I have been doing more exercise over the last couple of years but more varied this year with Pilates, cani-fit, walking and I can now add swimming. I definately do feel the benefit-but not always at the time!

In 2015 I hope to meet up more with other Cani-fitters but I prefer to do daytime runs so not always suitable for others during the week but I will post after holidays to see who if anybody is free.

I do need encouragement and this group has given me that bigtime-thanks, and I have enjoyed getting out a bit more and I feel good although may not look any better!

Keep up the good work everyone and a big thank you to Lindsay for setting this up.

I can’t believe it’s all over. 🙁 This has to be my most active (not to mention quickest) winter yet. This time last year I managed only a few runs and work made me miss lots of group classes. This year – what a transformation! (If we can ignore the few slips in running plans due to the December festivities)

Who’d have thought I would’ve found myself out running on Xmas Eve & Boxing Day, successfully out-running my 11yr old football star nephew, even running (willingly) through sleet! Usually I use an NI trip as an excuse to plank myself in front of the fire for the duration – not this time thanks to the motivator! I’ve even discovered a new trail at Strathy this week thanks to Freya & Jennifer!

When I set off on this challenge I wanted to get team ginner’s running mojo back and I think we may have done it!
– Charlie is running great. Even wee Ruby had a great time at Strathy yesterday didn’t put the breaks on once!
– We’ve completed our 2nd Canicross race (and our entry is submitted for Team Spanna’s return at Ruff Dugger).
– Our speed is coming back.
– We’re pretty much injury free.
– I’ve eventually got myself the PT I’ve been talking about for months
– At long last I’ve managed to do the cross-training Lindsay has been advising me to do for a year (soz it took me so long to listen properly): luv my Saturday bootcamps & returning to Pilates next week.
– And let’s not forget…the cake issue is now resolved! 2 weeks running none followed by cake! I think that deserves a medal (or a cheeky celebration cupcake)

We may never be long distance athletes or do the fastest 5k ever but I’m luvving getting outside and exercising with my dogs. I’ve met a great bunch of people & it’s so nice to see everyone’s progress. Great to see the transformation in people and celebrate in everyone’s successes.

Competition? Fancy trainers first prize? Pah I reckon the prize is turning us all into happily addicted canifitters 🙂

Happy New Year Team Canifit! Here’s to another year filled with fun, laughter & even more new members to the team!  Big up to Lindsay – you’ve transformed us all! 🙂

See you on the 2nd for some seagull chasing!

Luv the Ginja Ninjas
