It's my birthday 🎂 🥳

At The Functional Fitness Suite we have a tradition - on your birthday you wear the birthday vest!

And it just so happened to fall on the Castle Hill session 🤪

36 times up and down with the 10kg vest on - in 19 degree heat at 7am, it got hot!!

And I managed it in less than an hour too 🙌🏼

All good training for Deadly Dozen in August - hopefully I won't almost die next time 🤣

Thanks to the members for cheering me along while enjoying their workout and especially to Sandra White for my Crispy Creme donut 😋

What's your reason you train?

Keep up with the kids/grandkids?

Sports? Health? Happiness?

Make it from the shop to the car without gassing out?

Carry out basic jobs/chores around the house without needing to sit?

What about the stairs? How do you feel after a few sets of those?

LEGENDS!!!

A favour to ask all my Facebook followers.

I'm actively trying to increase my followers on my Instagram - this will help me with sponsorship with fitness brands.

My insta is solely about my fitness, fitness races and achievements and it would be great to share it all with you.

Shout out to my brother for getting these snaps at the .dozen UK Champs last month.

What they show is someone with incredible business branding but someone who can not stand the rays of the sun 🤣

What a whopper of a day. A day I was humbled by heat.

Journey and labour 1 and 2 were a breeze - the other 10 were quite honestly just survival mode.

I've been laughing about my near death experience but it's literally lit fire in me hotter than this day to be better and stop coasting along with above average fitness!

I'm locked back in. Training block is solid and I'm working to prove to myself that I can beat this version of me.

P.S. bucket hats, truckers hats, umbrellas, co ords, t shirts, air fresheners, plastic cups, bags, flags, pens all coming soon 🤭
