The last couple of weeks have been filled with new opportunities at work, the start of a new 12 Week Challenge, training for the Melbourne Marathon Half and a few other exciting, unexpected things happening in the health and fitness side of my life.
- My sister and I have booked in a photo shoot for the 1st of November so we've embarked on yet another 12 Week Challenge to ensure we're in the best shape possible for the shoot - we're currently in week 3. Ronnie and I also leave for Hawaii on 10th November, so the end of the challenge will come at a great time for me to get the body out in a bikini for the first time this Summer.
- It's just over 6 weeks to go until the Melbourne Marathon and I'm half way through my training plan to run a faster half marathon, I'm aiming for sub 1 hour 46 min. This time around has been as easy or enjoyable as the first training plan, for a few reasons but this week I've finally feeling good and enjoying my running again. I have also chosen to fundraise for Animals Australia for this run, please check out my fundraising page here, any donation would be much appreciated.
- I was lucky enough to be asked my a fellow blogger and health & fitness advocate Alison Wood from North of Here to appear in a new blog feature she's running - 'On The Weights Bench With....' I was so excited and honored to be asked, I filled out the interview straight away and the post was published last Thursday. You can check it out in full here.
- I had to opportunity to work with Mel in a nutrition seminar at our gym and do a cooking demonstration of my Thai Chicken Patties. They were a hit with everyone who tried them and I had so much fun doing the demo - growing up it was always a dream of mine to have my own cooking show, I used to bake cakes at home and pretend I was talking to the camera! We've got plans to do a few more coming up using some of my own recipes.
