Day 107 – Week 16 – 16 mins (3)

Not a particularly successful day I am afraid.

Today, we had a pile of things to do before getting in the car and driving to my cousin’s house some miles away, for a big family gathering and a 50th birthday. In the hurry to get out of the house, I didn’t think to do any minutes, and of course once arrived at the other end, I was immediately given a big glass of Sangria and all thoughts of exercise disappeared.

And it was about 45 degrees, which in my book means all normal activity should cease by decree of the government, and only lazing about in cold water or aircon should be allowed.

But all was not lost. Late in the afternoon it was decided that all at the party should take part in some swimming races, in the pool in my cousin’s backyard. It is not the biggest of pools, so I am calculating that the two races I took part in probably added up to about three minutes of very intense, heart-rate raising activity – but that is enough to put a score on the board for the day. Phew.
