Swim!

No company for combat tonight for a number of reasons, so rather than be a billy-no-mates, I decided to go for a swim!
I feel fab as I managed to swim 1000m in just over 35 mins, you may think this is a bit lame, but, you have to understand that this is the most I have ever swam non stop & I am not the strongest swimmer either! I really do feel fantastic!
The good book advises you to do a good variety of exercise, so this was a welcome change. As I have only swam in my lunch hour before, it was also good to not have to clock watch all the time.
Came home to a lovely dinner cooked by my wonderful hubby (thanks for being so understanding about the training honey!) & of course...............a Guinness for that energy boost...........!!
I'm hoping to walk on Thursday evening but will be starting a little later, so will possibly be an eight miler. I have been thinking about the weeks that are left & it has dawned on me that the last two weeks before the big night are shorter walks, allowing the body to recover from the big 20 that we have to do. When you look at it like that, you realise that in fact we only have 8 (oh no!!) weeks to build our stamina & get used to physically walking for such a long time, bit of a scary thought...................
