Friday, up and breakfast with meds. Then its on to a domestic morning of clearing the kitchen, putting washing in and replenishing the bird feeders. Outside the gas pipe folk are relaying large bright yellow pipes so in teh next few days it will be our turn to be without gas for a couple of days as they run the new plastic pipe into the old pipe system. There is time for a bacon sandwich for lunch before my partner goes of to see her mother and I go to the gym for a touch of warm environment training.
Its a real luxury to be able to train in the warmth, wander around and choose a fitness machine and then indulge in a warm shower. The session itself is on a cross trainer for 50 minutes followed by some weight machine work. I am still wary of the cross trainer as it was the machine that was more likely to induce me to piss blood after using it. This session goes okay with no after effects and I get to burn off 500+ calories.
Post session and post shower I relax with a large coffee in the lounge and check my messages and then drive home feeling achy. I get home and walk down to the village shop, which houses the local ATM. I draw my monthly cash allowance and buy a paper before returning home. My Fitbit is confusing me as it uses a index called PAI which is supposed to monitor fitness progression with a basic target to reach each day of 100. The tricky bit is that as time goes on and you get fitter it gets more difficult to win the PAI points. Over the past few days I have been cracking the 100 mark easily but today I find myself struggling and so have have only managed 97. Once home I settle down to do the crosswords, tea and drafting the blog before watching Leicester Tigers take on Claremont in a European cup and then Death in Paradise. Tomorrow is going to throw it down with rain so I’m predicting a long lay in in the morning.
A friend emailed me early this morning to ask if I was okay because my blog did not appear to have been written. I answered her, It was nice that someone noticed and enquired after me, it was very much appreciated. I still have to sort out why the blog page is not updating.
