Feels like I'm having a good week ...

Monday, finished Wk6 of Ju-ju's 10k plan with a 9k run.

Tuesday, Yoga.

Wednesday, started Wk7 with a 4k run.

... and today, went swimming!

Feeling really pleased with myself. I swam competitively as a youngster and was a qualified swimming teacher after that but I haven't swum properly for years. Playing around in the warm Caribbean Sea in a bikini really doesn't count as swimming! So I've bought myself a 'proper ' swimming costume and intend to swim as a rest day activity going forward.

So pleased I eventually got back to it, my body still feels the same in the water as it did when I was young.

And now I'm watching the French Open tennis, although I'm not sure that counts as a rest day activity!!

Happy running everyone! ......

Wahay ! Well done 😃👍

Swimming in the warm sea. Bliss or what. Any sea I’ve swum in lately has been ruddy Baltic 😬😃. Good idea on the cozzie! Get back into swimming 👍Before you know it, you”ll be doing tri’s and triathlons. My neice is a swimming instructor. She does swimming events. Some good fun to be had on your non-run days

Keep up the good work 💪👍😁

Ha ha. Maybe not then. Bike stuff not my forte either

Swimming makes for a jolly good cross training regime though 💪👍

I am off on hols next week and have treated myself to a pair of trendy new board shorts and a Roxy tri bikini top. Never been near a board in me life 😎😁 Living the dream 👍
