The Intuitive Voice

How many times have we had that little nudge that says "Just do it man!" and we disregard it. A book by a friend Mary King "The Intuitive Voice" has led me to listen to these more and more.

Many of you will know I am very into health and fitness - and love a spartan challenge. Tonight whilst at Fitness First I skipped the pump class to train on my own, and as I was cooling down ready to have a steam room I heard an announcement regarding a bootcamp fitness challenge. The winner was to receive a backpack and free bootcamp training.

Well I knew I could win if I put my mind to it, not knowing what it was or what I was in for. Perhaps it was that "Intuitive Voice". I raced upstairs and saw people going through an intense workout for the best time.

5 minutes later I was in for the challenge 7mins 6secs (and a shredding workout) later I was in the lead. Now it was just waiting to see if anyone else could beat this in the last 10 minutes before the competition ended.

I showered off, walked upstairs and won the prize. Total FLOW!

Best thing was I ended up meeting Paul the head instructor who is into adventure racing, rockclimbing and lots of cool stuff like that. Another member had said we would get on well and turns out they were right.

I will let you all know how we go on the bootcamp, many exciting things are opening up for Raw Eagle with more travel planned. City to Surf and OxFam 100km trail run.

To paraphrase Helen Keller "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing"

Until next time people stay well and love to hear of your adventures.
