Not quite sure how we’ve got to the 71st day of the year, but here’s today’s picture:
The gym I go to has finally starting to update the machines. It’s a bit of an old school gym, lots of weights, lots of mirrors, and lots of machines that are slowly beginning to fall apart.
So it was quite a surprise when I discovered two new cross-trainers: touchscreens, internet connected and very swanky. I’m looking forward to some new treadmills, which are apparently, on the way.
I’ve done lots of running at Rutland Water, but this morning was the first time I’ve actually run completely around it. 15 miles. It was a pretty miserable morning: grey and drizzly. In my head I was expecting it to have been nearer 17 miles, so after running for an hour or so in the rain it was nice to reach the car and head home.
Next time I’ll include the peninsula.
After drinking far too much last night, I spent the day here.
Wake House.
Oakridge Residential Management Steering Committee Meeting.
Discussing estate issues.
This appeared on my classroom door recently – one of my lovely tutees spreading the love.
Headed to Rutland Water after school to run a few miles. It felt good tonight.
I’m focusing on trying to slow it down a bit with thoughts of an ultra at some stage this year. 13 miles at a steady pace with the last 3 miles fast.
Feeling strong.
English Subject Collaboration Meeting. Outcome: we know what we are doing and have done for quite a while.
Today’s picture: about half-way through an 11mile run along the canal in Leicester.
Beans On Toast at The Rescue Rooms in Nottingham.
Never disappoints.
