Exercise & stuff
I went running yesterday. I got really hot and it was pretty uncomfortable but I finished it okay.
Kathy did her 8.2 mile run in 1 hour 19 minutes, despite her dodgy knee. I've got quite a long way to go before I'll be doing that. :-) I've got my eye on the Angkor Wat half-marathon in December 2012 (Kathy's always wanted to go to Cambodia), but unless I learn to run in the heat that's not going to happen.
Went swimming today - 34 lengths, 850 metres. Now that I've started swimming lengths rather than just splashing around with the kids, I think I prefer the water slightly cooler than it is (29C). Maybe I'll try a different pool.
In other news, my PhD application has been accepted, but funding is still up in the air, so it remains to be seen whether I'll be able to take up the offer.
