Finally got to the end of a very long week. School has been very busy recently, just one week to go.

When I got home I headed straight to the garage for a 20min weights session followed by a cheeky gentle couple of miles on the treadmill.

Today is the 16th October, and today was the 16th day of exercise this month. The catchily named ‘Fitter October’ is going well, and more importantly, I’m feeling fitter, stronger and happier.

It was a very busy day at school today. I did lots of thinking.

Tonight: run club. A loop of Beccles.

The crazy busy week continues…

Another full day teaching with morning, break and bus duties. Even lunchtime was taken up with a lot of ‘Sir, can you do me a reference?’. I have a year 11 tutor group and it feels full on with them at the moment.

On a positive note, I did manage a 30min swim at the end of the day. Despite feeling totally knackered (I’ve never mastered a nice relaxing swim) it was good to get in the pool.

I got home and had a bit of work to do, including a bit of marking.

The picture of the day, a pile of work strewn across the floor, pretty much sums it up…

Busy day today.

Full day of teaching, whole school meeting at the end of the day, dinner and then Village Hall AGM. Plus Charlton were on the TV!

‘Fitter October’ happened between the after school meeting and dinner: 3 gentle miles on the treadmill.

Picture of the day? Village Hall after a successful AGM.

For the record. A late Charlton equaliser saw them earn a point at Turf Moor.

12th day of the month. 12th day of exercise.

Tonight’s exercise was 25min of weights in the garage squeezed between finishing work, including some marking, and eating dinner and a Samaritans shift.

Talking of dinner, it was stir fry. Nice.
