Swimming day 381 - Friday 2nd December 2011

No blog for a few days as not much to say (unusual for me I know!)

Wednesday I needed to be in London for 7.00am start and didn’t leave London until after 7pm; no chance to swim or train that day.  Having not swum in the morning actually left me in rather a foul mood, which was not good as I at a conference and was a guest speaker!  Oh dear.

Thursday I was also in London at the same conference and was a specialist guest speaker again; luckily I had a swim first thing so by the time I got to London (just in time for my speech) I was buoyed up and raring to go.  A morning swim really changes ones mood, amazing that it can do that.  The swim was a physical and wet one (obviously!).  The rain was pouring down, the wind was up and the sea was throwing big and strong waves at us.  As it was a relatively low tide it meant that it was dangerous, but it did mean that it was more of a play than a swim.  Temperature felt really cold even though it was still 9.5 degrees; however a great start to the very long day ahead.

Friday – I was planning on a swim today and by all accounts would have enjoyed it as Big Bob and Shoichi swam around the pier – a December pier swim would have been great, especially as last year it was not possible.  Unfortunately Sharon was really ill over night and I had to get the three kids up, dressed, breakfasted and to school and then dash back home to get Sharon settled before heading off to work.  Really so unlike Sharon to be ill, so feel really bad for her.  Bloomin shame to miss the swim though as really could have done with it.  Also going to miss gym with Ross today as need to get home sharpish for Sharon.  Hopefully if I can get everyone to bed and settled tonight I’ll use my home gym for an hour.  Roll on an illness free Monday!
