So my good friend, Carol, who convinced me to try trail running and got me hooked on that, managed to convince me to do the Impi Challenge.

So I have just over a month to train, although I am not entirely sure what training I should be doing for an event like this. Check out this YouTube video of the 2011 event.

What interesting challenges have you done?

Whilst doing my LSD on Saturday afternoon, I realised how much I have done and achieved since starting my training in October 2011. For those of you that know me and for those that don’t, I have never done sport at all, always been a couch potato. Now I get excited at the tought of running 8-10km on a Saturday afternoon and doing trail running. Actually the best part of a recent trail run that I did was a floating bridge. The marshal informed me as I approached it “Run like the wind or you will sink” – well that was motivation!!

I am always looking for someone to run with on the weekends, so if you are keen, let me know. Remember though, I am still slow and take lots of walk breaks. Have a look at my LSD from Saturday on Garmin Connect and you will see.

Your comments, tweets and inbox messages keep me very motivated, so please keep them coming.

Have fun out there!

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5kg weight loss program.

The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.

The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.”

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up.

The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5kg as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10kg program. The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me”.

Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.

So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10kg as promised.

He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25kg program.
“Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.” “Absolutely, ” he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.”

The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, “If I catch you, you are mine.”

He lost 33 kilos that week.
