Regrouping after some indulging

Lovely people.

I spent an indulgent Sunday with friends and gave no thought to walking. We converged from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and even London to spend time together.

Monday's pilates class was quite different. Farrell called it a '500', 10 exercises with 50 repetitions each. From squats to sit-ups to push-ups, lifts, lunges, all I can say is thank goodness I do not need my triceps for walking.

To take pressure off my achy knees I did 3km on the bicycle at the gym.

So I needed to regroup and get walking again today.

However, we were up at 2.30am to watch the first semifinal between South Africa and New Zealand, so I lazed on the couch until the last nail biting ball. Anyway I did a short walk to Killarney to get past our loss even though it was lunch time and not ideal for walking.

Our power walk today, up and over Munro Drive and down through Houghton back home. 8km and Fred was fine on the walk and was good to have him on the path again.
