Having a bit of fun. Photo by Johan Sopiee MUSINGS AND THOUGHTS I spent the day doing catching up on some work as well as preparing for a workshop I'm holding next week. I'm a trainer and consultant in my 'normal' life and, I have to say, I do a pretty good job at it. I've training sessions for well over 2000 participants in the last 2 years and it's nice to keep in touch with them. Lots of new programmes to design this year to fulfill a need that I see in terms of people and personal development. My training for the triathlon has changed the way I conduct my training programmes. I have a greater understanding of how the mind works and I've developed ways to take advantage of that. Needless to say, the content of my programmes has also changed. I feel this year will be a good year for me in my work. I want to start conducting public programmes as well as the new programmes I mentioned earlier. Tomorrow I've been asked to speak at an Instructor's Training Programme (ITP) which is a train the trainer programme for the Money and You programme. Money and You is one of the training programmes I attended nearly 7 years ago which has had a tremendous impact on my life. To be asked to speak at the ITP is a great honour and a strong validation of the changes I've myself through. Enuff said about that.

I did my usual programme on the POLAR RS 800 which goes as follows: Phase 1 Warm up 15 minutes Phase 2 Hard 20km Phase 3 Warm down 15 minutes The POLAR data as follows: (during Phase 2) Average Heart Rate 70% MHR Average pace 1.29 min per km Average Cadence 76 Distance covered 20.01 km (total- 32.35 km) Calories 657 kcal Time 29 min 43 sec (total time 59 minutes) This is actually an improvement over last weeks workout on the bike (similar programme).

My time for 20km has improved and this is the first time I've gone under 30 minutes. Let's see what happens in a few months time. Woo hoo and yee haa.... Now I'm gonna think about what I'm going to say tomorrow......
