Okay, so I’ve taken a break from what appears to be over a month?! Loads going on: moving flat, working too much, spasms & hospital visits etc etc – all the usual excuses. However, we are now raising money so I definitely get to get my butt in gear. We have 40 days until the event!
If you haven’t sponsored my relay team yet, and would like to do so, you can donate to the MaAfrica Tikkun charity and our event at our Virgin Money page.
See below for the recent workout updates. I’ve included my weight management task I’m doing with some colleagues and my gym sessions.
