Katherine Endacott - The Athlete

This weekend seems to have been the most tiring and jammed packed weekend ever.

Friday I was A key speaker at a conference in Plymouth for teacher on Citizenship, PHSEE and and Healthy Schools event talking about how sport and healthy lifestyle has made an impact on my life and talk about my story so far and I had know trouble talking haha those who know me would know that! I was amazed while I was there to learn that Primary Schools now weigh in children to check their weight!! Parents can refuse for their child to be weighed and I did say that I wouldn't allow my child to be weighed to determine if she is healthy or not, surely doing this can have an adverse effect on some children. It's bad enough anyway with the so called perfect body image plastered on magazines etc and now they are doing this in schools surely it's not right!! We will end up with more kids with eating disorders. There must be another way of determining if a child is healthy or not why can't they put together some kind of fitness testing!! That's enough moaning from me now 

On a brighter note on Sunday I was invited to start the first ever Plymouth 10k event and it was an honor to be able to do it and such a fantastic turn out with clear sky's to boot. I enjoyed counting down and setting the runners off and glad to be a spectator!! Haha The finish was great with three elite runners racing for the finish line and the English came out on top against the welsh it was also nice to meet some people I talk typo via twitter nice to put a face to a nice or should I say tweet!

So tomorrow is the start of a new week and time for me to get some last minute training in and get my game face on for the start of my Bobsleigh career as on the 13th I shall be leaving the UK and heading out to Austria to slide with the girls  BRING IT ON 
