If I’d only gotten my stationery shopping done a couple of hours later, I could have seen Jordan! So that’s what the queues of screaming kids were all about. An opportunity sorely missed ;)

How I did it: Had the week off work (always helps!) so I could control my schedule (and sleep lots!) and run in the light Had perfect weather the whole week - more sunny days than not, beautiful sunrises to cheer me along, and not a drop of rain! Planned to do it and stuck to the schedule each day Went out first thing in the morning, whatever time I got up, for half an hour, after half an hour of proper stretching and pottering. That made it easie… Read how I did it…
I bloody love being on holiday! Excellent start made this morning!
I don’t think I’ll be posting to-do lists but instead will try and keep track of what I’ve been doing…
gym: 1hr swim + jacuzzi– yay!get own locker sorted– double yay!spend stationery voucher– does life get any better??!
Journal & TEAwrap Christmas presentsprep stuff to take for locker tomorrowassess Christmas card situation
- make soup
change & wash bedding- Coffee and possibly a CPCC?
- bits of food shopping
Otherwise… chill, relax, do whatever I like!
Oh and…- make healthy dinner
- XFACTOR!
I swam for an hour, non-stop! I don’t think I can truly say I’ve ever done that before, as I’ve only ever swum in public pools and you always have to stop for someone to swim across your lane or kick you in the face or for some child to jump on your head (new-gym has a no-children policy, how awesome is that?!) OR more usually I have to pee, but not today!! Today I was totally in the stainless-steel zone! I did 2.14km and my 2k time was 56mins, I don’t think I’ve ever done it in the hour before and certainly not by that margin (it’s not because I’m fitter though, just because there are fewer people in the way!) which I think is testament to the new gym bringing out the best in me!
My shoulders felt tired but it’s my legs I’m feeling now. I had a glorious few minutes in the jacuzzi afterwards. Feel like Wonderwoman!
