Already experiencing early symptons of "I shouldn't have got myself into this" singing in my head. Oh and my thighs and lungs also helped with the doubt after my second attempt to walk the SONR Ph2, 'steps of hell.'

Barry, my office buddy on site, challenged me to do 5 reps on the hell steps yesterday. I pushed for an extra 1. Today Friday 1 April I managed 7. I'm reminding myself, or is it trying to convince myself, the stamina will improve, while praying at the sametime for a miracle.

I've set up this blog to encourage and note the training. Adding the before untoned photos and hoping as time gets nearer to the trek there will be evidence of improvement both visually, mentally (stay in power),stamina etc

Here we go! :o)
