Running & Gym This Morning
This morning I was very blessed to be working out both inside the gym and out on the athletics track with three of my babies, Imogen and Ivan joined the under 18s gym last week so had their first induction session today, they are having three more and the great news is that as I home school they can use the facilities at any time unlike the other kids who are only allowed in after 3:30pm, result. They both loved their time there and I did fill up with pride watching them secretly through the glass when I was on my way to the leg machines section, Imogen especially got stuck in and found she loved the rowing machines the best, Ivan ran on the treadmill for a while and said that was his favourite this morning out of the ones they tried together. Next up for them is weights, will have to see how they get on with that later in the week.
Out on the running track the girls and I managed a full 1200 metres but Ivan added an extra lap and a bit for the whole mile, he did it all with ease and could easily have carried on but we were meeting hubby and Harvey for an early lunch before picking up all the fresh ingredients for our Monday afternoon casserole type meal that I cook each week. Today's one was particularly lovely, I made it all with just fresh things I picked up on my way back through the high street on the way home, love doing this after a good workout and running, then later we'll be going to karate school together, so a full complete Monday very busy and filled just the way we've grown to love the day.
My face got quite badly burnt under the surface last week, by Wednesday I was worried it was going to blister but thankfully I had a load of collagen gel and lavender oil here so could treat it every half an hour to try and save the skin, damage limitations have meant that the skin did not blister but since Friday evening has been peeling and flaking all around the cheeks and forehead, not looking very pretty I tried to cover it up with makeup today to go to the gym but whilst it looked ok could still be seen so I braved it and went anyway, so glad I did as yesterday I spent the whole day resting as I was just plain exhausted from travelling down to see my surgeon on Friday, I'd forgotten how much the long journey takes out of me every time this one being no exception.
Also today my new satchel handbag arrived, its 15 inches wide so large enough to take my laptop and or my iPad if I want to take them out with me to the library or wherever which is great, could not find one locally, we looked in so many shops last week so I ordered one online instead late Thursday afternoon, was so pleased it turned up today so quickly its perfect.
