Well, it's been a slow couple of weeks.

After a bad bout of food poisoining which literally took it out of me, I've struggled getting back into the swing of things. Having said that I'm joining a new gym on Monday to give me some renewed motivation to get fit. I'm going to try and post some pics of me "in action" in the next couple of posts so stay tuned.

Thanks to those to have already donated, for those who haven't - please please please help this fantastic charity.

Bye for now!

Today - Thursday November 2nd - is my official start date for training and fund raising for my Costa Rican challenge in February.

For those of you who want to know a little more about what the Challenge is all about, and to learn a little more about what great work the Princes Trust are doing, take a look at their website.

I'm not off to a good start as on Monday I came down with food poisoning, so my training regime has been a little slow getting started. Having said that one of my goals was to lose a few pounds here and there, and three days of food poisoning has helped me lose about half a stone!

Myself and three colleagues are entering into the Challenge to compete against other teams from around the Technology Industry. While we're representing Business Objects at the Challenge, the focus is working individually to raise as much money as possible for the charity.
