Day three at the gold mine, I'm loving it, but my God I'm so tired.
Sol and I have been talking of opening a programme: get fit in 10 days at the mine. We want to revolutionise the area, bringing groups of people to work out in a different way. She wants to call it 'Garimpo (mine) Hot Pants', a boot camp type of regime, where you spend your entire day trekking around, covering some 6km or more in your uncomfortable wellies, getting stuck in the mud, falling down slopes, running through an unfriendly terrain, using all your attention not to break a bone, tear ligaments or simply not have a heart attack. You may think it doesn't sound right, but walking up and down hills, through craters and dead trees all day long gets most of your muscles going.
I'm so sore, but I can't give up now. God knows, perhaps we can start a new trend!
