My calves are a bit tight after yesterdays long run, and being sat at my desk all day probably hasn't helped, but I'm pleased not to be feeling any adverse effects.
We'd planned to go swimming this evening, but mixed up the swimming pool opening times. This evening was set aside for over 40's, and then women only. I'm guessing hubby and I would have got away with joining the over 40's session, hubby would have struggled to get into the women only session (but I'm sure he'd have given it a good go), but the children would have had no chance with either. Swimming will have to wait for another day.
I was determined to do something this evening, so settled for a steady 5km on the exercise bike and some gentle stretching.
Tomorrow is filling me with dread, as I'm booked for an induction session at the work gym. I'm fortunate to have free use, but last week was the first time I'd ventured through the doors. The gym instructor was very welcoming, gave me a tour round...then booked my induction session. Gulp.
My only experience of a gym was last year on holiday, when I found myself on the stepper next to Ms Fit. Four minutes in, I was wheezing and a lighter shade of beetroot while she was the equivalent of half way up Snowdon. I quietly stepped down and returned to the pool side.
I need to do build cross training into my training schedule, but this takes me right out of my comfort zone.
Tune in tomorrow to see how I get on!
