Playing the waiting game

D-day is approaching (Monday) and Wifey is nesting. She loves her DIY and is planning to build all the baby furniture before mini Elliott turns up.

I'm loving exercising again. I've no set plan yet, just to get out and do something most days. This week that has included a few short swims, bodyweight exercises and a couple of runs. Trundled around Black Park parkrun in a comfortable 27.13. It isn't easy to hold back but I know I have to just to give my body a chance to recover. Active recovery I think the call it.

If you've not heard of Parkrun they are free 5km runs for all abilities held every Saturday at 9am in several locations. All you do is sign up on www.parkrun.com then download your barcode, turn up and run. When you finish you are given a number which corresponds to your finish time. Later in the day, the results go up on their website. It's a fun friendly morning out.

Go on, give it a go. You won't be disappointed.
