Boy was it frosty this morning

Even cars that are black in colour were crystallised in white ice. Real two tone = looked nice but probably not nice to touch.

I was swathed in coat, scarf, hat, hand stuffed in pockets while walking to the pool for a swim.
The walking hasn't been touched since last time as I have been busy doing stuff about Dad so hopefully his life will be a little easier and ours less stressful. What I must do today is ring the optician about the swim goggles for me as I want to do more swimming but without goggles/glasses I can not see at all. It will make it easier to be able to do overarm instead of the "cak handed" breast stoke type swimming I am doing at the moment. At least I am up to 12 lengths of the pool where as only a month ago I could barely do two. The pool is the standard 25 m length so I am building up distance. It takes me about 2 mins to do a length; I am comfortable with that.

I will see if I can fit in a walk tomorrow, otherwise it will be Sunday which should be the 8 km but I may have to be flexible on that as I am getting behind in the training program. I am determined to do this 1/2 marathon and my goal is to finish it. I am not going to give myself the stress of a time limit as I think that would be negative if I did not achieve the time I set. I think any time will be great and, more importantly, it will excellent if I finished.

Saturday I will not be able to do any exercise as it is Guild and I will have to leave early and I will be late home. Mind you I could squeeze in a 2 km around the park before and after Guild if I took the car, but not if I took the bus. Will think about this as I have had two days off this week and I need to keep the momentum up of walking everyday.

ok that is enuf ==== off to Dad's to do some tidy up for him
