The big fish tank in the sky.....

Well I went to the gym on Friday afternoon and did the cross trainer class. I love this one....she makes you work really hard and it gets the heart rate up as well as working all the muscles. Well she must have had a bad day because she made us pay!!! I was so sore by the time we finished I could not tell which bit hurt the most....but it was great! We did this very long and intense abdominal work out which is just what my mummy tummy ordered! The other killer were the many many many dead lifts she had us doing....needless to say my hamstrings are still feeling the sting today. As a result of this my legs were dead on saturday so I did nothing. Well I went and spent the day with my lovely family but no exercise :-)

This morning we were going to Smithfield but somehow the alarm was turned off and we went back to sleep *ooops* After a much needed sleep in (7am) Ray went for his run while Charlie and I played and then at 9am I headed out the door. It was cloudy so it did not feel too hot until the last 15mins. I ran 12km, average pace 5:55/km. This is the longest I have run in a while and the legs felt tired by the end!!! I ran a really hilly loop and some of those hills almost killed me....haha I have a bit of work to do on hills thats for sure! But I did find some long steep hills that I can start trying to do some hill work on. I am aiming to get my long run up to 15km in the next few weeks....God that seems like a long way!!!

Not a lot else to report. Charlie is great....growing every day! We have not had any more rolls so I am glad I got it on camera....I might have thought I imagined it :-) She is eating a lot and getting really chubby.....so cute!

Oh on a very sad note our beloved Fish Merry died this morning and was flushed to the big fish tank in the sky! We have had Merry for the past 6 years~ which is a good innings for a fish. So we will be off to get a new addition to the Rowell household this afternoon. Poor Merry!
