The Foundry

One other reason I am blogging about this run is because The Foundry Gym in East London is helping me through it!

The Foundry was started less than a year ago by a guy called Dave Thomas and his wife Helen. Already they are doing really well with 14 employees - personal trainers, therapists etc - and a full diary every day with loads of people in the East finally getting fit!!

I met Dave about a year ago when I started work and Dave was known well and was the trainer of many of my colleagues. I went along to a circuit class one week and loved it, such a tough workout but really worth it, you can feel the benefits so quickly (after the pain and agony for at least a day or two post-training)

Dave and Helen are both great and have agreed to help me actually make it round the half marathon and make me look less like the bottom pic, more like the top one :) (or something similar)!
