84 days to go!

Believe it or not there is only 84 days to go before we set off! Aghhhhhhhhh.

This news is not helped by the fact that yesterday some of fellow colleagues were discussing the various UTube videos of Killi trips, some of which apparently didn't make good watching.

However it did spur me on to sort out my insurance (that tells you what some of the videos were like!). So I am now insured up to 6000m, just in case Kili grows between now and when we go.

So last night I did one of the shorter walks, which usually takes and 1hr 30, but had to speed walk the last half, so did it just over 1hr 10 mins, and then back at the gym this morning, where running was not so easy, so gave up after 20 minutes, around 2.5 miles, did my weights and then 30 minutes cross training.

I have the pleasure of a weekend in Tarporley coming up, so staying Saturday & Sunday night, taking Monday as holiday. Will take my gym kit as they have a fitness area, but unlikely to do any walking this weekend. Having said that, it will probably be better if I did, as finally my shin splints have recovered so know what they are needed for, and I am away on business a couple of nights next week, so will find it difficult to get any walking done.

So the week has been good from an exercise point of view , gym 3 days, the other two days I went walking, and also have lost 1.5Kg, which I assume is the effect of this diet I am following with Kate. However I feel a drink may be deserved tonight.

So you all enjoy your weekend, as I will be doing so, and it will be Tuesday before the next update.......
