I so did not want to go out today; the weather was perfect but I was absolutely whacked after twins club and H and I were all snuggly under a duvet watching a dvd. I'm not sure if it was Spen's nagging or his pseudo-motivational speech but I found myself putting on my trainers before long while grumbling that it would be a total waste of time and I'd only do three miles as I just could not be bothered.
I hate typing this, but Spencer was right. I did feel invigorated once I got out in the sunshine and ended up committing myself to a six-miler without being entirely sure of where that would take me. I headed down the canal path, passed by the miniature railway station, across town, down to Ladies' Walk, and found myself exactly in front of the swimming pool at the 3 mile mark.
***make a note of that for later. The next time I'm scheduled a 3 mile walk I can just toddle home after taking the girls for a swim.***
The trip out was relatively slow but I managed to carve off a few minutes on the return by improving my form. I suppose its also because I didn't have to guess where I was going and I stopped fiddling with my watch. Not sure what was wrong with it but I couldn't get the silly thing to show my mileage and time at the same time, kept getting MPH instead. Will have to play about with that later.
The new shoes definitely have the blister situation under control, no new ones and the old ones didn't rub at all. My knee is a bit swollen tonight, not complaining though as it gives me a reason to lounge on the couch and watch ER?!
