Around the lake
Today I found a lovely new running route, it goes up to the university and around the lake in the grounds, it was a lovely day, a nice peaceful route and with more interesting things to look at than my usual lap or two of the park! Going to do it again tomorrow- it was 3.5 miles so I am planning to run round the lake twice as I am trying to build my distance up, both for the 10k I am doing in September but also because running further is meant to make you faster in a 5k. Will be going out early in the morning as we are going to Banham Zoo at about 11 so i want to make sure I get the run in. I joined a book group on Monday with 2 friends, it should be fun! We are reading "A History of Tractors in Ukrainian" (think that's the right title) but first I need to finish re-reading all my Harry Potters! It's loads of fun reading them in the context of knowing how everything ends up! Have to say though - reading Order of the Phoenix and the film is MILES better than the book!!! Sorry JK! I always thought the book was overlong and over-angsty, and the film pared it down nicely. Think at the time the editors should have been a bit more heavy handed but it was when the hype took off loads so they were probably scared to make changes, but things got better later! That's my opinion anyway! Once I finish OOTP I will be on to the last two which are 2 of my favourites so I will enjoy that, then read the Book Group choice! Only bad thing about book group was that while there I had a glass of wine and some crisps and nuts and the weight I lost last week came piling back! I'm sure it's just water retention but it's still irritating! Keeping my good habits...today I have had Special K (or should I say Tesco's "Special Flakes"), then a turkey and tomato sandwich with a banana for lunch, for dinner a huge salad with a tandoori chicken breast, with a Crunch Corner, apple and banana. Jolly good!
