supertinksIll I may be, but I will not let that ruin my day off!
Had to get up stupidly early and spend ages crawling through Reading's rush hour traffic this morning, as I was volunteered by Jamie to drive him and Big Andy up to the van hire place to pick up the van for the Spring Event. Which meant getting up and leaving the house at approximately the same time as I would have to go to work! I felt awful though, so its just as well I wasnt going to work really.
Came back to breakfast, some Commonwealth Games action, and some Rome: Total War. After lunch, I popped up to the leisure centre and did some swimming, cos I promised myself I would go so I did.
It actually helped make me feel better, as the water cleared out my nose and stuff completely, I am now able to breathe properly! Having access to the pool included in my gym membership rocks. It only cost me 25p (for the locker token) to use the pool for however long I wanted. Cos it was lunchtime, the pool was empty as well, just me and some woman with a disabled kid. Pretty much had the entire pool to myself, as they were just sticking very close to the edge the whole time. Its only a shallow pool, 1.3m deep at the deepest, so no diving fun for me, but I did manage to swim 24 lengths, which is 600m, which is further than I did when I was a kid, cos the highest swimming badge I got was 400m. Of course, it doesnt really count as the longest I've ever swam, cos I had quite a few rests and went to the loo halfway through! But still, given my hands kept cramping up, and my muscles were dying after about 18 lengths, I think I did pretty well. Shame I can't go at that time every week really.
