Day 105 – Week 15 – 15 mins (13)

I have noticed a niggling in my knee which is worrying me, so I have decided to take the opportunity of being on holiday and staying in an apartment right next to a pool, to adjust my routine somewhat. For the week that I am here, I am going to do my minutes in the pool. It should give me a much needed change in routine and hopefully give whatever is going on with my knee, a bit of a break.

It is roasting hot, here in Spain – around 40 degrees every day. And although, as an Australian, I know it is crazy to go out in the middle of the day, come about 1.00pm, I was desperate to go for a swim. So I did my minutes by doing breastroke for my usual warm up time, and freestyle for the bits when my heart rate should be higher. It was harder than I thought, especially as I had to work around several children in the pool, some of them learning to dive from the sidelines, and cutting across my path unexpectedly.

But – I forgot my stretching. I was so keen to get out of the sun, I raced inside after the swim, and so I can really only claim my 13 minutes for the day. Bugger!
