First Serious Day

I have found a fitness training program for a basic level which is designed by the Royal Air Force.
It is a six week plan and when i have finished it i will move on to the Royal Marines Fitness Guide which is repeated every week but constantly building up.
The plan for week one is:
Day 1) Fitness test (recorded scores) 1.5 mile (2.4 km), As many press-ups as you can manage in 1 minute, As many sit-ups as you can manage in 1 minute.

Day 2) 20 minutes low-impact aerobic activity (gentle intensity)

Day 3) 2 circuits: 15 tricep dips, 20 sit-ups, 7 press-up, 15 dorsal raises, 25 step-up.

Day 4) REST :)

Day 5) 20 minute run (moderate intensity)

Day 6) 2 circuits: 15 tricep dips, 20 sit-ups, 7 press-up, 15 dorsal raises, 25 step-up.

Day 7) REST AGAIN :)

That looks scary too me and it looks like week two gets harder "gulp"

A few weeks ago i had an operation which i have almost recovered from, i am told i can start training very soon which is good. The downside is that i have started eating less and adding vegetables to my diet to try and shed a few pounds. I had a salad box from Morrisons for dinner today and lets just say around half of it is still sat on my windowsill ledge.

Its now time to go and make a plan to raise sponsorship money...

The saga begins

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you didn't already read my about section i am set myself a big challenge. I have been a pretty lazy person over the last few years and i intend to change that. I used to be an athlete many moons ago (about 6 years ago if i remember correctly). For example's sake i probably cant even run a mile without the need to tell everybody it almost finished me.
So anyway, my challenge has three main goals:
1) Break my lazy habits
2) Achieve something awesome
3) Raise as much money as i can for the MS Society, a charity i strongly support (my dad got MS when i was young).

In 2010 i will try to complete three sub challenges.
First i will enter a marathon, secondly i will cycle across Europe, and finally - the biggie - i am going to climb to the sumit of the High Atlas Mountains!!
This is how i can accomplish all my goals :)

I predict that i have a loooooot of training to do and this will be my dairy until i complete my goals. I am hoping to enter the New York Marathon this year in November, that will be cool because i have never been to America before (I'm from England if nobody got that yet).

Watch this space...
