Nominally this is Body Sculpt but when we have Count Lewis it's a bit of a lottery. I swear his watch will be mangled if he keeps going timing us every 30 secs. I went into the room and class had just started warmup and thought... will I stay or won't I? Got gear out, then started to put it away and was going to do cycle ints then Invisible Hills but changed my mind. I have to get used to instructors I don't like.
Too many 30 sec rounds to remember. But focussed on upper body - that would be right. I'm not doing parkrun tomorrow!!!

Olympics coverage blunder: in javelin which I have a great and long standing interest in. "She selects a javelin. They don't bring their own javelins. They are provided by the Olympic committee. It's only the pole vaulters that bring their own javelins".

Well you could have fooled me!!!

Wandered around for about 90 min at Swansea HS enjoying the beautiful day and being backup for rockman. Had to keep stopping myself from selecting control sites.

OMG the pole vault!!!

Too much pain to remember anything except I was 2nd out on the run and came back 2nd. Smashed out the previous upper body segment but paid for it later and possibly tomorrow.

Needed to get out in response to yet another beautiful day. Initial target was PO Box, then around the bock (which does take 30 mins!!) calling in at cousin's house (not home) and checking out the 4 new constructions in the block. Will be interesting at auction in 2 weeks time for 1 of them. Added on a little bit extra just because. Knee always seems a bit stiff when I start on this type of walk - never at any other time.

Well - one of life's little coincidences: today marked my 75th parkrun.
It was also macey's 75th parkrun. It is absolutely the only time I will be equal with him in anything!!!
That also means I have run as far as he has in parkrun! (yes that's pretty lame)
But I beat him on time - x 2.5 as a conservative estimate.

C • 75th parkrun 1

Birthday for Callaghan but not that many there to celebrate. Certain presentations to acknowledge winners of points and volunteering. Nice all up, then off. It felt quite cool warming up and didn't do as much as I should have but it felt comfortable and I didn't feel all that stressed.

Start-steps Rainforest walk -11:49 Rode through the initial challenges and not feeling too bad until the extra hill bit.
Steps - cone 7:34 (19:23) Better than past few times and it felt so. Had to rescue some wayfarers who were destined for a visit to the Forum had I not pointed out the turn around sign - though admittedly it was on its side rather than full frontal.
Cone - steps Rainforest Walk7:11 (26:34)- down on past week - disappointed
Steps - Finish - 12:56 (39:30)This is much better than recently with the extra bits thrown in too - so not unhappy at all. Felt much better in the good parts and not much worse in the bad parts.When flagging I tried to lengthen stride which helped a little and didn't feel as weird as I thought it might.
Some improvement on recent times. It appears this may become the new permanent course, even with construction at Drama Theatre area. Hence I may have to reset my PB calibration.
Note: having reset - I have done3 PBs in a row on this 'new' course. That is certainly a fillip.
