Recovery Mode

Well, it’s all over. After 12 years and 3 kids we have decided that we would quit the weekly swim training. Now that all of our children are reasonably strong swimmers we have decided that rather than go through the weekly arguments about whether or not they should go we’ve decided to pull the pin. This now leaves Tuesday evenings blessedly free –the only night of the week we won’t be running hither and yon. Bet that won’t last.

I’m in recovery mode after running in the half marathon over the weekend. My goal was to break 90 minutes which I managed to achieve, so cue the theme to “Rocky” for me. It’s an interesting experience to be setting myself goals that, in the past I would have reached without having to try too hard. It’s all about the aging process and these days it’s a lot more important to manage the recovery process a little more closely. Anyway, I’ve had a couple of days rest and the body’s raring to go again.
