Today I went swimming. Then I had the most amazing experience. I tried my first ever Hammam.

First I was directed, to change, and they wrapped a towel about me. Then I was told to go sit in the sauna for 5 minutes. It was so peaceful. I was just getting used to it. When the lady popped in to collect me.

Next I was lead to a room. Where everywhere I looked was coated in white marble. The floor, the wall, the tables, the center pieces. All white. I was lead across the room to another area with a heated marble bed.

I was then advised to lay on it on my belly. I did and was surprised to discover it was heated. Then the lady poured hot water from a copper bowl all over me. That felt surprisingly relaxing. Next I tried not to giggle. As the lady took some black soap and then rubbed it all over me.all over me. Using a mitten of some sort, I Then was rubbed, with something that felt like sand paper all over my body. I giggled a little as I am ticklish.

Then your rinsed of. And turn over. The procedure is repeated. Then your rinsed of with bowls of water again. Then they use something else. Not sure what it was but it felt a bit gritty,

Later I was sent for a shower. It was the most unusual experience. After I felt relaxed, and surprisingly tired. I needed to sleep.

Anyway that was my reward for week 2 run 2. Tomorrow I try my third run. I am a little nervous. However, I feel ready for it.
