hello all

Is there a session tomorrow? Sorry I've been away for so long .... can't wait to get stuck in!

[Proj London Health]

You bet!

All things being equal, I'll be there 30-mins earlier to do an outer lap of the Rye.... it will be slow but meaningful :-)

Catch you all for 10am, bring a bottle for arm, shoulder & back toning and also for rehydration!

Went to my 1st session today and had a great time. Was made to feel very welcome by the group and Macabe stayed with me all the way in case I collapsed! ( only joking)Seriously though it was like having a personal trainer. Will definately be back for more next Saturday.

Come along, it's not often you get something this good for free.

[Proj London Health]

Kelly,

You were a star!

McCabe

[Proj London Health]

G'day guys,

This is a Saturday morning Rah Rah, I know, it should have gone out yesterday.

So, 10am by the cafe and bring a bottle of water for arm, shoulder and back toning - and to rehydrate

McCabe

[Proj London Health]

Hi to all,

Its the Friday Rah Rah. I will be there in spirit tomorrow but my body will be elsewhere :-)

Have a good one all!

To all fit fans on both Free Fitness in the park groups, Julie is organising drinks for the team and you can bring your friends and buddies too!

* Drinks Thursday 23rd Aug, from 7ish-@ The Great Exhibition pub, Crystal Palace Road SE22. All welcome!!!!!!!!

[Proj London Health]

What a fantastic evening last night! Thanks Julie for organising it - right, you are the social secretary!

All things being equal, we will have a beautiful morning to have some fun and get a bit fitter too.

It was good to meet I think...... Jessy.... last night who started with the group last week while McCabe and family where in Jersey living it up with the cows! I had better scrub up on my German now :-)

So, 10am at the caf? on the Rye for tomorrow morning - and bring a 1 Ltr bottle of water for arm, should and back toning, and to rehydrate too. And..... some change for a tea / coffee at the end.

McCabe.

[jazzmatazz]

Nice evening it was indeed! Truly enjoyed myself... very nice meeting so many great new people

Yes McCabe Jessy is right - thats me ;)

I see you all next Saturday, looking forward!

Jess

[Proj London Health]

G'day Jess and team,

Its the Friday Rah Rah time, to get you good people ready for the Saturday morning fitness session.

If you are reading this for the first time, we meet by the caf? on the Rye for 10am and have an hour of fun and fitness. We cover around 2.5Km with stops every c.300m for stretching, toning and some other bits and pieces. Bring a 1 Ltr bottle of water for toning your arms, shoulders and back... and then drink it for rehydration.

If...... if you want to do a bit more, meet at the same place for a 9-15am start where we do 2 outer laps of the Rye.... I set the pace at a 14-min mile which is a powerwalkers pace.

Can I run faster, oh yes! But I will have a half marathon the next day so taking it easy - its the first half of the London Marathon. Come and join me if you can.... meet for 9am at Blackheath/junc of Greenwich Park car entrance... and then finish at Tower Bridge.

Hasta la vista!

McCabe

[AnnaCBH]

Will I manage to complete the 9.15 and 10am sessions on Saturday? who knows..but i'll give it a go, come on the sunshine for Saturday!

[Dirty Bird]

Hia - I am aiming to be there for the 9.15 session (depending on how much beer I drink tonight ...)

See ya!

fx

[Proj London Health]

Great!

There is a slight change to the plan for tomorrow. As we can't do the 1/2 London Marathon on Sunday, I'm going to do 7.5 laps of Peckham Rye which equates to c.Half Marathon.

Assuming I am jogging at a 12-min mile, you will catch me by the zebra crossing (Barry Road) heading up the Rye at the following times:

* 7am, 7-20am, 7-40am

* 8am, 8-20am, 8-40am (Lynsay is joining me here at 8am)

* 9am, 9-20am, 9-40am

And then I will take the 10am group, and really will be leading from the back!

I love setting personal tasks to see if

a) I chicken out (which McCabe doesn't), and

b) can I do them non stop unless I develop an injury?

10am team, remember..... a 1Ltr bottle of water for arm toning.

Hasta Leugo!

McCabe

[Dirty Bird]
