I’ll be growing gills soon

Water Running
Long Run today, 90 minutes up and down and round and round in the pool this afternoon.

I simply could not have done this without music, I’d churned away for just over an hour before I even looked at my watch. In the end the workout lasted 26 songs.

After I reached 90 minutes I took the belt off and floated around for a little while with half my head submerged, in my own little world with the Nine Inch Nails for company.

I didn’t get on the mountain bike today, I had such a miserable ride last week that I couldn’t face it again today. Still, even without the bike ride I ended up with 5 hour 17 minutes worth of exercise, all in the pool. That’s right, over 5 hours in the pool, I shall be sprouting scales and gills soon, maybe even some cool little fins around my ankles like a comic book character.

I also did core work 3 times this week.

Other Stuff
We went out for a lovely dinner last night, a surprise birthday for a new friend organised by her husband. This had the added bonus of getting J out of the house so I didn’t have to endure the agony of the Richmond V Brisbane game (it was a draw), I am a long suffering Tiger’s widow.

I am definitely off to Sydney for work Tuesday morning and back on Thursday, thankfully I managed to book a hotel with a pool (number 1 priority). Jo, I’ll still be up for a pool run on Monday if you fancy 2 sets of 7 by 90 seconds.

To all the Wizz Fizz fans out there, they have brought out Cola flavoured Wizz Fizz, do I even need to say that I picked some up today :lol:

Yawwwwn, I am so tired after my “run” this afternoon, and I need to do a bit of packing so I am not trying to do it all at the last minute tomorrow night.
