challenges collide

nearly ticked another challenge off the list this week... but it was not meant to be! thanks to an automated email system set up by one of those 'be an audience on a tv show for free' websites I had been invited to witness a comic relief challenge take place. the idea is 24 hours of different tv comedies (mainly panel type things i.e. nevermind the buzzcocks) with a different audience every few hours - sounded interesting i thought. However... wait a minute... it clashes with my long run ready for the marathon. so this challenge will have to be done another time! :-(

another one bites the dust

80s are back, jumpsuits are in fashion and Challenge Anneka might have a a rival on her hands! Yes today another one of the challenges has been completed! I accompanied fitness guru and regular gym attendee, Helen Rushton to the gym. As I type this I am still able to walk... however we will see what the morning holds! It was useful at times having a primary school teacher on hand as counting to 20 was not always my strength! From cross trainer, to power plates, to sit ups with a football and a machine that is to skiing what a treadmill is to running (not too sure of the technical name... Ski Trainer maybe..??) Followed by a compulsory sit in the jacuzzi.

Another challenge bites the dust.... now just for planning for the next one!

double the challenge!

So... there is taking the challenges seriously and taking them to a new level! Well actually I had already got this in the bag before the challenges were even a glint in Emily's eye, or a line was written on the inside of a birthday card...

So the challenge is to 'fun a half marathon'... but I will actually being taking on the full thing... a whole 26.2 miles of 42 kilometers! So in addition to hearing all about the 'before I am 30 challenges' you might hear a little bit about running too on the blog!

This is probably the one which is currently taking the most effort to complete... as I  am not a runner... in fact back in October I could not even run half a mile without stopping!
Should be a fun 71 days ahead!
