Just for general wonderings…
‘Fitter October’ is still going strong. It was 20min weights followed by 20min treadmill, squeezed in between getting in from work, having dinner and attending a Samaritans Branch Meeting.
As for picture of the day? I returned to my classroom after lunch to find my year 11 tutor group had been thinking up alliterative day names.
Went out for a run lunchtime. 5.5 miles around the village. Felt good.
In other news…
Farmer is covering carrots with straw, it helps protect from frost, keeping the ground from freezing, and ultimately extends the harvest window.
A day full up with stuff.
It started with a rainbow on the way to parkrun.
Then Gorleston Cliffs Parkrun itself. Haven’t been for a while. I wanted to go for a quick one. I’m planning on a visit to parkrun a bit more often than of late. Today’s time of 22.49 felt good – felt I could probably have gone a bit quicker.
Then a visit to the fine city of Norwich for a wander and a bit of shopping, including a pit stop.
Dinner was one of ‘Jamie’s Twenty Minute Meals’: Golden Chicken and Garlicky Beans (with of course a vegan version for me).
Good day.
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…
