Walking in the rain..

why I love and hate it, keeps you focussed (not to slip and make an ass of yourself infront of incoming traffic), need to wear a light parka which makes you sweat in all the wrong/right places!!! then add to that my glasses fog up I must look red in the cheeks wet matted hair and fogged up glasses YIP exactly what people need to see on their Sunday drives!!! and huffing and blowing.

A point I forgot to add in the last post THE PHYSIO stressed I wont be doing the MAY half marathon better to aim for the August one and unless a small miracle happens the may half marathon wont be happening (although as I said there is a 10 km option).

Have been doing more driving lessons this time IN a carpark (with no cars), and out at our local rugby fields WIDE open spaces and AGAIN no cars!!!! is all coming along nicely, hilarious at times but coming along, and the key is PATIENCE and no giggling cause then my son gets the giggles and well no concentration.

Last few days and nights have been unbearably hot and sticky and no sleep before midnight then waking at 6.00am after tossing all night trying to lay on A COOL place in bed (not ready at that hour to be up and or awake), rained heavy here last night and awoke to cool temperatures and must have had a better sleep.

Am pleased to be walking (well in my case dawdling and meandering along), have managed 3 walks so better than none and have been on the exercycle 3 times inbetween days so its a start in the right direction.

Am working huge hours this week so will have to time walks around everything else and MAY even do some night walking after dinner when it cools down (around town as we have some CCTV cameras and good lighting), and around our small CBD it is a 4.5km round trip walk also if and when it rains you can stay halfway dry by being undercover, have used that circuit more than once when I was training in earnest because 14km walks in the rain ARENT pleasant well not in DRIVING southerly Taupo rain anyhow.

Hope everyone has a better week.

Ciao
