Hi Everyone!

Well hi everyone. This is my online record of my weight loss journey - hope you will enjoy it - once I figure out how to do this blasted blogging thing!

2009 Fitness Goals

Half Marathon - Done 11/10/09 2:25:58
Quarter Marathon (10.5 km) - Done 5/4/09 at a hobble with very sore calf muscles!
Tongariro Alpine Crossing (18.5 km mountain crossing) - Done 29/3/09
8.4km run - 15/3/09 - Done in 67 minutes and 21 seconds. Slower than I'd have liked but it took us 15 minutes after the starter gun to get to the start line because there were so many people and another 10 minutes after that before we could start running.
Duathlon (3.5 run, 10km bike, 1.5km run) - 15/2/09 Done in 1hr 4min 58 sec
