Two injections - and seventeen miles!

So, you won't have heard from me for a few days. I've had a long weekend as it was John's Birthday. By the time Sunday afternoon arrived, I actually felt quite relaxed rather than being stressed that it the weekend was over already!

I had booked an appointment with the Nurse to find out what injections I needed for my trip - and she clearly wasn't messing around. When I was in the Army, I had every injection under the sun - and a few more for good measure, but my medical records were never passed over to my civilian GP. However, it is 10 years since I was in Bosnia now and had the last batch of jabs, so they were probably out of date (although I'm positive I had boosters to last me 20 years!). So I was swiftly dispatched with an injection to each arm and a shopping list of all the extras I could have at a price (£80 for Rabies anyone?!) It wasn't quite what I planned as I have clear memories of trying to do drill (i.e. marching around the parade ground) and having dead arms.

Anyway - I got home and John was ready for a bike ride! Never one to say no, off we went.....for 17 miles! Two hours, twenty minutes later and with numb hands and painful arms...I was pleased to be home. It reminded me of being back in basic training! I think the contents of the jabs was rapidly working its way around my body, as I didn't fell 100% - so enjoyed chilling out for the rest of the afternoon - and for once, didn't have the urge to keep checking my blackberry every 5 minutes. I'm definitely going to have withdrawl problems when I'm away!

Apart from that, we had a very relaxed weekend. We didn't go cycling on Saturday; I was surprisingly quite tires. I went shopping to Sainsbury's - reaching for items high on the shelves was a bit painful - I'm sure my fellow shoppers thought I was mad...wincing when reaching for a pint of milk which was at the back of the shelf! We did go for what we now concider a short ride on Sunday - approx 8 miles in 50 mins and then jumped into the jacuzzi aftewards which is so nice, if not a little too hot for me.

Just tweaked the press article and sent it back. Dreading when that goes out!!

Definitely not doing any exercise tonight. If John's playing golf on Tuesday - I may go for a run and then off to Shannon (3am start) on Wednesday, so definitely no exercise for me then!

Also - just noticed that "Just Giving" have changed their website format. Not sure I like the new one - old version was so much better. Hope it doesn't affect my fundraising!

TTFN!
