Of writing, swimming & running
14 Sep 2007 02:13 pmAfter feeling like I just couldn't write anything for the last few months, I'm excited to have written a few things in the last week. I've managed to finish the little sequel to 'Atlantis' that I began a while back, plus I'm working on another stand alone McShep Earthside fic. Yay! (Well, I feel like it's 'yay!' anyway. Everyone else may just be 'oh, boy!'. *g*)
My swimming lessons are going pretty well, I think. My back stroke is improving & this week the instructor had me start on the front crawl. Unfortunately he's only shown me the legs & breathing part so far - no arms! So I'm using a float & practising. It was a bit weird to put my face down into the water at first & just turn to the side to breathe but I'm finding a rhythm with it now. Hopefully next week's lesson will include 'arms'! LOL
I'm running in the Hydroactive Challenge in Brimingham on Sunday, raising money for The Blue Cross animal charity. It's only a 5K & is always a lot of fun. Fingers crossed for good weather!
My running is going really well at the moment. I'm keeping my mileage up in preparation for another marathon in the Spring, plus I'm working to improve my speed. I'm doing 4 running sessions a week with 2 cross-training sessions of swimming, plus some weights & ab work.
I'm also happy to say that I've managed to work off the few extra pounds I gained during our fabulous US road holiday last month. :-)
Hmmmph. Still waiting for my Supernatural s2 to arrive.

Where are you, Winchester boys?
