ANGINA ADVENTURE DAY 16

Fight, in new ways.

Tuesday and after a semi restless night I wake up in time to see my partner of to the physio. I make the beds, take my morning meds and then get into my training gear and head for the garage and the rowing machine. I’m fed up being this fatigued person so I set my session for 45 minutes and to hell with it. I start slow and try to keep a steady pace. When I start out I do no t look at the monitor for as long as possible, its the only way I can get into a rhythm. By the time I look I am through the half hour mark, so onward. The end result is 7k+ and almost 500 calories burnt. For the first time since restarting to row I crack 1000 strokes. Go me.

45 minutes, I’m good with that.

After time to rest I take a shower and then make a reservation at a restaurant for tonight and then book tickets for a showing of an Andre Rieu concert at the local cinema. My partner and I go and stock up on popcorn and find our seat. Its not exactly packed out as the video shows.

There is even a half time break.

It turns out that there is still some music that can choke me up. It turns out that Andre Rieu can throw quite a shindig. The good citizens of Maastricht certainly know how to party. All in all it was a good way to spend an afternoon.

Back home there was just enough time to spruce myself up before my partner and I went of to the restaurant. It is a cosy restaurant in a local village whose food is good. So I indulge in good pate, beef fillet and crepes. I also take the chance on a glass of red wine, a glass I do not finish, so there is still a bit of me being sensible. Home, a bit of TV and then night meds and bed. Its been a full day I hope the night is full of sleep.

All is possible.
