So had my 2nd race of the Run Auckland series, at Te Atatu Peninsula, on Sunday. Improved my time by nearly 5 minutes. And recovered afterwards much better as well.
On Tuesday had my weekly PT session and started off with a weigh in and measure up. In the 6 weeks since I have started I have lost 6.5cm off each thigh, 2.5cm off my hips, 3cm off my waist, and 2cm off each arm - not much weight change so losing fat and gaining lots of muscle!
Also I am leading the board (for women) at the gyms tri challenge for April. 11:51 for 2km running, 4:10 for 1km rowing...will do bike next week to see if I win :)
Feeling great this week!

For I know the plans I have for you
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13
Isn't He awesome! We have prayed for growth in Girls' Brigade - and on Tuesday we had our area meeting, in which we gave our reports on how our 5 companies in West Auckland were doing and what they had been up to for term 1. We now have a total of 120 girls in West Auckland GB, a 32% increase on last year! Based on our statistics this takes us back to our 2004 numbers.
The start of our fundraising for Christchurch is about to begin, we are holding a movie night at Pt. Chev company on 20th April, gold coin donation to enter and all proceeds going the GB Christchurch.

Day 2
This morning started with a 1hr session with Parween my personal trainer at Jetts. It was quite good, definately noticing the difference since I first started...and yes I actually do have some abs now...wahoo, yes so 15 excerises then 10 mins on treadmill, then the 15 excercises again + stretches
And I have just ended my day by attending our second West Auckland area GB meeting for the year. Police Vetting forms done, started planning for our parade/area day this year, reflected on camp at Waitawheta, reports read out by all, we've started off well for the year with all companies growing.
I did have titles to sew on 10 sashes for our membership night tomorrow, but being the great procrastinator that I am have decided that there will be time tomorrow.
As for now...I do need sleep :)

New to Blogging
So this is my first blog....
Running and Girls' Brigade...they are what I do at present. And so I have combined them into running in aid of Christchurch. You can sponsor me at the following:
http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/CharlotteRose/
I might as well start with today. I ran this morning 30 mins, then walked chinamans hill - I'm never any good at hills - something that needs to change, and then ran the last 15 home. And as for GB I have written 2 reports, was supposed to also sew titles onto 10 sashes but I was setting up this blog and I must say it is harder than it looks.
But now as it is late, I will leave some more interesting posts to the weekend when I have more time.
