More pool running

Well it's been a couple of days since the marathon and I can now report that Simon is definately on the mend - he spent a couple of days walking around like a penguin, unable to bend his knees, but now he seems to be much better. He had some work done on his hips during the week, and that seemed to really help to unlock his knees too.

I've been to the pool twice this week already. Tuesday night I did 6 sets of 1:30 min, plus a five min warm up and cool down. Then last night I did 30mins steady, again, with a 5 min warm up and cool down. It seems to be getting a little more enjoyable, but I must admit that I would have struggled last night if S wasn't there with me. Who would have thought that I would ever enjoy the pool! I'm even ok with the whole bathers thing, which really surprises me. I'm about 5kgs heavier than I was in June, but I think I actually look ok (ok, so my problem area is really the back of my legs and I can't see them, so I'm happy - out of sight, out of mind! LOL).

My eating is out of control at the moment - two morning teas in two days for staff that are leaving has seen me eat soooooooo much choccie and biscuits and cake. Yesterday I was quite controlled, but today it was a free for all. I also met a friend for lunch today, so more eating involved. All up, though, it's been fun! LOL

Tonight there is no swimming on my program, but I will get out the yoga DVD's and do an hour workout when I get home. It feels so good to be able to do exercise again!!
