Had a day off work today - partly to use up annual leave (we get too much but dont tell the boss) and partly cos I felt like one. So in typical fashion I had a list of jobs to do including fixing lights, goingto Ikea hanging hooks and other bits and bobs that never seem to get done in normal time.
But before all that went to gym....now I know I could have run outside today but wanted to do a weights session and anyway there is a saunda at the gym and as yet my DiY skills dont extend to putting in one of those at home. So did 10 miles on the old treadmill at 6:52 pace - I find it very easy to totally zone out on the old treddie....far easier than outside as outside there is so much to see and take notice off. But in the gym I can just lose myself. So 68 and a bits minutes running.
After that I popped onto the treadclimber machine. This ones odd - two separate treadmills type tracks that rise and fall with each step. Speed is limited to 6.4km/h but as its upp uphill its supposed to be good for you. Did 30 minutes off that and apparently it burnt off 400 caloriies so must have done me some good?
After that it was half an hour or so in sauna and steam room...with some chilling in between before off to do chores.
Run with mate the other night went well. He managed I think 8 or 9 3 minute runs with 1 minute walking inbetween. So did well to cover about 2.5 miles in total. Will go out again next week sometime. I did another mile or so getting there or back so a useful loosener.
Off to the footy this evening - no great hopes for a result as not sure Southend United have a full team - better take my boots! Then its the dreaded 11+ (well the first of two) tomorrow for daughter - we have totally underplayed this deliberately so she is not stressed about it - unless they have been winding each other up all day at school. there sgot to be a better way?
Hope all is well in your worlds.

Ah the joys of the 11+. I didn't realise it was still in operation in many LEA's. Maybe it would be better to just have the kids do a sack race to decide who gets in?
