It has certainly been a busy day today. We were up and out of the house by 7:30am to head for the pool. We used to try and swim on a monday, wednesday or friday, however after the last few times that we've been on a Tuesday or a Thursday, they are clearly the days to go. Aquafit starts at 9am so I think that puts people off using the pool on those days. It was lovely and quiet, not once did I have to give way to someone, get scratched or splashed or change my course. I got my 50 lengths done in really good time.
By the time I got home I'd walked 3.6 miles, no time for a nice cup of tea and a sit down though as I had just 20 minutes to get changed before heading back out for a hair cut. From there I wandered in to town to meet The Boy and his mum for lunch before a stroll round town. The stroll proved rather productive as I found a dress for the wedding we're going to next week, got a microfibre, packs down tiny, towel for swimming and found a bra to decorate for the marathon.
By the time I got home I'd added another 4.5 miles to my distance and it was another quick 15 minute change before heading out to meet Ny for our evening walk. Justine unfortunately wasn't able to make it this evening so we decided to change our route and have a wander around Blackford hill instead. It was so beautiful though we did get lashed with rain coming up a near vertical slope. We appear to be getting our April showers a little late.
By the time we got back to Ny's I'd done 17.3 miles of walking and because not all of it had been at speed and it had been spread through the day, I was actually feeling really good for it.
Total distance: 17.3 miles
Weather: torrential rain, glorious sunshine and a good lashing of wind
I'm starting to feel positive about this marathon after all.
