the coast is clear.

I have the all clear to swim again, hooray!  It is another week until I start swim coaching again so the timing was good.  This block of coaching runs until the day that I fly to Melbourne.  Seeing as I do not want to be drying towels and togs an hour before I have to leave for the airport, I have chosen to end my term a week early (and start two weeks late due to the neck sprain and the Rotorua 10k).  Therefore, instead of 11 weeks of coaching, I am doing 8 weeks for $76 – what a bargain.  This term it is all about working on my fitness, with technique monitoring to make sure I do not pick up any nasty habits in the off-season.

It has rained all day in Auckland and most of last night.  It got quite Noah’s Ark around 2pm and shows no sign of letting up.  Thank goodness for umbrellas, but having to hike around in the rain to a work meeting today was not fun.  I did not want to get my Asics wet so had to wear sandals. We desperately need the rain, but it would be nice if it could rain only between 10pm and 5am each day!  The weather forecast for Saturday looks a bit grim for the10k, and it looks like I will be running with an umbrella…maybe I should dress up as Mary Poppins for the fun run?
