Pumped Personal Training

How much do we love the Pumped Personal Training team who cooked dinner for 7 nights as part of the Family Dinner Programme at Ronald McDonald House!

The 47 Team Pumped members won second division in Lotto, and the team decided to use those funds to support the Family Dinner Programme, and we are so grateful!

They had originally booked to cook dinner for the last 4 nights of 2020, but thanks to having some left-over funds they were able to cook for another 3 nights for the families!

This was so very thoughtful and kind – thank you Team Pumped ❤

Do you, your friends or colleagues want to volunteer to cook dinner for the families who stay at Ronald McDonald House? We have availability over the next couple of weeks. Visit the link below and select a date, our team will then confirm your booking: https://rmhsi.org.nz/ways-to-help/family-dinner-programme/

By taking part in the Family Dinner Programme, you will ensure that families can enjoy home-cooked, nutritious meals together at a time when they need them the most.

Remember that time Pumped won 2nd division lotto....?

Well, we got to put it to good use over the last week as we finished 2020 cooking each night at the Ronald McDonald house. We originally had the last 4 nights of 2020 booked, but thanks to having some left over money we were able to cook for them another 3 nights!

It was so nice to help bring a smile to so many families as they were going through their own tough challenges and it was awesome to hang out with my Pumped Family and their families as a different kitchen crew came in and helped me each night.

If you’re looking to contribute in 2021, then this is a great cause! They rely on the public cooking dinner at the house, so jump onto their website and have a look for when there might be a gap. It’s great team building, great for the kids to be involved in and just a reality check at the same time!

Hehe not quite the perfect jump shot - but not bad considering this was after 7h of racing! 😂

🙌 SHOUT OUT TO THE PUMPED GALS! 🙌

There were 235 teams that raced in the 6h Spring Challenge Event yesterday, the fastest team did it in 6:03h and the slowest took over 12h...

We had 3 teams with Pumped representatives racing and I am SO stoked to say we got 3rd, 9th and 20th out of 234! YEEEEHA! 👏🏻

This event is honestly so well run, such great fun and attracts woman of all ages, fitness abilities, shapes and sizes! I’m a local and I got to explore more of my own city thanks to this challenge!

Next year it’s being held in Greymouth, and it sells out, so get in quick! There is a 3h and a 9h option also.

For those who don’t know what’s involved...

We picked up our maps on Friday and up until then, we didn’t know where we were racing, all we knew was it was in Christchurch.

You then must navigate your way around the course scanning your barcode at each checkpoint.

You can get to the finish line however you wish of each stage so long as you get each check point. For instance, in the last section on foot, my team did it in 7.6km and Celia and Jodi managed to complete the whole thing in 6km, so, they had a faster route then us. This is where navigation is key, understanding maps and planning on the fly is how you can beat teams who are fitter and faster.

Stage 1 - We had to run 2km in our wetsuits down to the river, then we jumped in a boat with another team and paddled just over 10km down the Waimak.

Stage 2 - 25km mountain bike

Stage 3 - 9km run / walk (lots of beach/sand running made this hard)

Stage 4 - 20km bike through bottle lake

Stage 5 - 7.5km run through bottle lake

The thing that separated the teams was the final two stages we didn’t get our maps until we reached that stage - so it meant we had to sit and plan our routes as best as we could, as quick as we could!

It was a FUN day out, and an event I highly recommend you have a go at! 😊

🙌 PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT 🙌

This really is one of the things I am most proud of, it seems so little, and it is, but it’s taken discipline and commitment, and as a result, myself and Sarah have arrived at day 1000 today.

We both started this on 1st January 2018 along side 150+ others... and today we are the only ones that kept at it - every day, without fail! 👏🏻

It’s funny, there have been nights I am too tired to even brush my teeth, yet those same nights I have been on the treadmill at 11pm doing my 1km... it really has become an absolute non negotiable, and I don’t think you could pay Sarah or I anything to have us miss a day!

It’s been a while since I got out to watch a sunrise!

Although there was a lot of cloud, at 6:30am it was 14 degrees and beautiful as always!

☀️SUMMER IS COMING ☀️

Start small, build momentum and motivation will happen naturally as a result! Unless something significant shakes your world, it’s unlikely that you’ll just “wake up” with motivation... so, stop waiting for it to arrive and just start by taking one step of action towards the desire you’re trying to achieve 💥

💃 HAPPY THURSDAY 💃
