I don’t even know what a grinder is! Nice job, though!

Thanks Andrew I will look into the SBS Marathon next June. That would perhaps give me enough time to save etc…Whats the weather like at the moment over there?

Never been to NZ, but am looking forward to it. Might convince my Mum to come with me

Cheers

i agree, day 2 was harder than I thought it would be---but I am determined to make this work!I found that the last set was tough, but I really think my form was better than my first set. a mini sprint tri at the gym? what a neat idea. Sounds very tough--great job! workout mommys last blog post..Vanity sizing and the little black dress

Good work on those push-ups! I’m getting ready to start the challenge myself — yikes! Doing even 2 push-ups for Day 1 / Week 1 is going to be tough for me. Thanks for sharing the link to the Challenge.

Hmm, depends when you are coming over. SBS Marathon in Christchurch is normally Juneish. I’m probably going to do that one as my dad is quite keen.

Auckland Marathon is normally early November.

Rotorua Marathon (apparently the toughest) is around April (give or take a month or two).

Andrew I am going to try the pushup challenge after the Gold Coast half. Sounds good.

Quick question do you know of any good half marathons in New Zealand for next year? Either island would be good. Where are you located?

I was thinking of visiting Christchurch next year, and of course combining my holiday with a race LOL,

Thanks

Mini triathlon sounds great fun! Well done on the push ups. The main thing is you made it through and can move on to Day 3 after a day's rest. Good luck.. --Steve Steves last blog post..Extended Kara Goucher NIKE+ Endurance Workout

That sounds like HEAPS of pushups to me! Wow!
I saw the opera of ‘Dead Man Walking’ earlier this year and the male lead appeared in one scene doing pushups and singing opera at the same time. Mad skills!

The push-up thing looks pretty cool. I think I will give it a try. I have week arms and a week chest so I may not be able to do much.

Nice job on the mini tri.

The sprint thing at the gym sounds like a really cool idea, and it sounds like you did great! I’m glad you realized your potential as an inshape athlete and jumped in!
