The Heat Is Gone!
An update on my lip : the swelling has gone down a load. This is good news although my lower lip is still a little pouty. I'm not worried about it though, I'm sure it'll be fine by tomorrow morning.
Tonight we went to the pool and lane swimming is back in its normal slot outside. I couldn't possibly tell you how glad I was that this was so :) There was two old ladies who slowed everyone down, but it was a load of fun. I'm starting to recognise the faces in the pool. Its always the same ones and they always ask you what you're going to do on a particular afternoon.
Two kilometers later I got out the pool and since I slept in this morning (even though it was cool enough to run), I then got into my running gear and started my one hour run around the lovely cool and shady fields of the leisure centre. My legs felt like lead (I guess the swimming took more out of me than I realised), but I was just happy to be out in the open and jogging.
Some people were training their dogs on the fields and I made the mistake of running past them the first lap. I love dogs and had to stop and play with the smallest of the lot. The owner didn't seem to mind. She probably thought I was crazy to just stop while running and playing with a dog I don't know.
Afterwards we came home and Andy made the most lovely pasta and meatballs.
I'm going to go for a nice shower and nap now. Tomorrow is an off day, so I'm going to enjoy getting some sleep tonight.
