Less than a month til Christmas!!!!!! Again!!!!!
New Arrivals
Jo and Mick were surprised by the early arrival on Nov 13th of Koby Will Bajada, baby brother to Jasmine. All safe and well - Congrats!
Prams Christmas Party - Sun 7th Dec 10am - 2pm
Last chance to book a spot! Santa has confirmed his availability for this exciting day and you should too!
Christmas Shutdown - Wed 24th Dec Sun 11th Jan.
I will be taking a break over Christmas!! Our last sessions will be on Tues Dec 23rd - the Mon & Tues of that week I anticipate several of you may wish to squeeze a couple of sessions before Christmas so I plan to run strength sessions on the Monday and cardio/boxing sessions on the Tues. This means you can do 2 days in a row and get 2 different sessions back to back.
Early Risers-Up & At Em! (formerly known as Bootcamp) commencing January 2009
One of the restrictions Stonnington Council have put on personal trainers operating in parks is - No Bootcamps!
A quick name change should resolve that particular issue (there are still several other hurdles for me to jump yet).
Our first program for 2009 will commence on Tuesday 27th January (after Australia Day). (5 weeks x Tues, Wed, Fri) I am taking bookings now.
Fun Run Training Program
Finished!! I'm delighted to say that the first running program was a great success and I am now looking expressions of interest in a 2nd program to begin in February. More info to follow on this but please don't hesitate to register your interest now. Please see the emails below I have received from Jane & Jen who participated in the first group.

Just a quick note to say an enormous thankyou for the brilliant running program. Simply - there is no way I would have done it without you. After having Alice earlier this year I was wondering how on earth I was ever going to be able to get back into running again - but your program, support, encouragement and cheery face at 6am helped me achieve what I thought was going to be impossible. What a difference it makes to your attitude when there is someone with a timer clapping and cheering you on as you complete yet another lap of Central Park, when your legs feel like lead and you can't breathe. And then you just go and do another lap! The way you developed the program so we built up to "race day" over 5 weeks meant that it was a gradual improve day by day and not a total shock to the system at any time.
While I never "bounced" out of bed at 5:45am (let's get real here!), the motivation to join the group, work on my fitness and pound the pavement meant that I never once put the snooze button on. While I achieved my 10km goal, I am determined to keep it up and even build on it to 15km (what the∑.?). After millions of laps around Central Park - now that is something I wont miss! Keep me posted on when you are running (!!) it again! (Jen H)

Hi Martine,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for the running group training. I was amazed at how quickly I got back into it after only running sporadically since Grace was born 16 months ago. I was quite proud of my achievement of 10kms after 5 weeks training and I couldn't have done it without you!
I found your encouragement and guidance was just the impetus I needed to committing to getting back into running and I found your 'technique tips' really beneficial. The added benefit was also losing a couple of kgs along the way! It was great to be part of a team heading towards a goal and I think we all celebrated in each others milestones and achievements. The early morning sessions were fantastic and the days a great spread over the week as I was able to get my training done early and still get home in time to get Grace ready for crèche and head off to work feeling energised for the day. I also appreciated that you always ran to time!
Although I got a little bored of the same lap of Central Park (I think I know every tree and bump in the path!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your program to anyone who wanted to either start or get back into running. (Jane G)
My new BLOG
Prue Walstab has designed and set up a new BLOG for me - I am being forced to get my head around this technical stuff! She did a fabulous job and has been helping me to upload things it while I learn how to manage it. My hope in time is that I will be able to make regular contributions to it on my own.
Please click on the following link to check it out and let me know what you think
I'll also take this opportunity to give Prue a little plug for all her hard work. She has recently started her own small business and I think she's great. Perhaps she could help you too:
