Well with 18 weeks to go to my 7 x 7 (A marathon on each continent) Adventure, this week included.....

Introduction

On Thursday evening I attended Story Sessions (www.storysessions.co.za) and listened to the inspiring story of Margaret Hirsch, a real rags to riches story! She is an incredible woman and she was named SA business woman of the year for 2012! Her passion for SA is contagious and she encouraged each one of us to get involved and be apart of the change in SA!  Have a look at the Story Sessions website to read more about her inspiring story and follow her on Twitter @MargaretHirsch to be inspired and motivated!

I also discovered Don Millers Storyline MySubplot.com. website and amazing tool or organise your life! Have a look at my page http://mysubplot.com/user/Lara_7x7 and create your own to ensure you live a meaning story! And I just love this quote it is so true "If you want to live a meaningful life, imagine yourself 10 years from now, then ask yourself what you'll wish you'd done by then. Then do those things now" (Don Miller, Subplot)

I really hope you are inspired and take action from reviewing Margaret's Story and that you use Subplot to plot you meaningful life story!

Thursday 25th October 2012

A well paced hilly 10km with Sarah and Harry. Lots of memories, we did the route I did 2 - 3 times a week when training for comrades marathon earlier this year!


Friday 26th October 2012

Boy I was feeling lazy to get out of bed...and then I had the thought ... you have a decision "Endure the pain of discipline right now or regret later" and I shot out of bed and off to KB and it was an awesome session. There were just 2 of us in the class so we did an awesome "circuit" with the weights increasing...my weights were 4kg, 6kg, 8kg then 10kg! And it was great to also focus on technique!

Saturday 27th October 2012 
It was a rainy day so we moved our trail run to Sunday! So I did a gentle 4km walk along the boardwalk!

Wading through rivers  
Sunday 28th October 2012
Oh what an incredible morning at Holla! I was up at 4:15am to have a cup of coffee and a piece of toast and pack my trail pack & I was off to Holla. We were out from 5am - 9am, it was muddy but awesome and an incredibly beautiful 25km Holla red trail with Harry! Amazing birdlife, little finches, whydahs, blue cranes on top of sugar cane heaps, little blue and green bird, we waded across streams, sloshed in mud knee deep at one point! It was just too exquisite for words! Here are a couple of pics!




Muddy Holla Red trail..what a fun morning!
Stepped in sinking mud!


Happy to have bridges over most rivers
