Making the most of my break between jobs, and boosted by our success at hiking 51 miles and still being able to walk (blisters aside) I have decided to get fitter. I’ve committed to actually going to the gym and have just secured a personal trainer for a weekly hourly session to keep me motivated and to help me stay committed.

My first session is next week with my trainer who I have nicknamed Sporty Spice, the resemblance is remarkable and rather entertaining. Lucky girl is half my age and full of energy, and she gets to try to train me! I’ve warned her how fast I get bored and grumpy.

She is convinced I can find my abs somewhere – I’ll be amazed if that’s the case, but hey, worth a shot.

Now, to start my training regime Mr Fogg and I are off for a slap up meal out. You know, to boost my metabolism and all that!

AND Dad and I have already planned to finish the Wolds Way Walk – 15 miles from East Heslerton to Filey is our last section and we plan to nail it in a day! The August dates are scheduled so watch out Filey here we come!
