Quitting The Smokes And Getting Fit

Since quitting the cigarettes my new vice is visiting the gym. While this is a fantastic way to get me fit and back in shape it is also very time consuming. It is a half hour round trip. My workout takes an hour and I go to the pool for an hour. I reward my hard work with half an hour divided between the jacuzzi and steam room. So that is 3 hours a day. Not sustainable.

So I invested in a treadmill (http://short.ie/see/2cn5ri). Thanks to the Big R, I got it reduced from €999 to €499 in Elvery Sports, Maynooth. I have to mention the staff in the Maynooth branch. They are fantastic. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It really is a pleasure to shop there.

To keep me motivated I also signed up to the Flora Women's Mini Marathon. This takes place June Bank Holiday weekend in Dublin. I am supporting Autism Ireland. For more information or to sponsor me click here http://www.mycharity.ie/event/helen_treacys_event/
