Excuses aside it is now Saturday and I have finally convinced Bee to use the David Lloyd valentine offer to bring your partner for any weekend in February.
We arrived at the gym after disagreeing which car park is closer and I think I may be wrong on that one, we signed Bee up for two days and went in. Weekends are very different to week days as parents bring their families out on a Saturday and the pool was full of little ones, luckily Bee managed to get a lane to herself to do lengths, and with her waterproof iPod on she could blank out the noise and swim.
Whilst Bee was swimming I went to the gym and set myself up for another hard 10 minutes on the x-trainer and much to my surprise when i sailed through 10, then 15 and stopped at 20 minutes - wow twice as far in only two sessions! I then spent 16:07 on the bicycle, it was meant to be 15 but i wanted to hear the end of 'who loves you' from the Jersey Boys soundtrack. I am very pleased to see improvement already, I now believe if my knee hold up I may actually be able to do all the run; I just hope this is not a false dawn right at the start.
I then met Bee in the pool where we spent some time in the Jacuzzi and then the steam room before going about our day and getting home in time for our new washing machine to be delivered and gave us plenty of exercise trying to lift to unpack and move over the kitchen into its home.
The big question is do we go back again tomorrow as we do have a weekend guest pass for Bee!! Next week will be a challenging week for me as I am likely to be travelling for most of it so will see how i can fit exercise in with work, this is hopefully something that will improve once i can run again as then i do not need a gym to exercise just a pair of trainers.
