Most definitely a rest and recuperation day today. My legs
don’t feel too bad, but just a little bit heavy, so hopefully giving them a day
to recover will mean I can tackle some extra distance tomorrow – I’d like to
get a couple of 5-milers in before the week is over. Still having my 15 minute
sessions with the lovely Gay Gasper though (what a name for a fitness
instructor!). There’s one point in the routine where she asks you to do an
exercise and then says ‘I surprised you!’ Gay, nothing you say surprises me
after we’ve been together all this time – for those 15 minutes I know your
every thought and movement! I could probably do the whole thing without
actually putting the DVD on, but it is encouraging to be paced through the
routine by Gay’s commentary. I did buy another DVD that I thought might be
good, featuring Flavia from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and teaching you how to do
an Argentine Tango with a chair, but it’s about ten minutes of complicated
instructions followed by the actual routine, which I promptly get lost in about
thirty seconds after it starts!
So, what’s all this about today’s title then? Well, I now
have my costume for the race! Managed to pick up a cheap outfit on the interweb
– just hope it fits! I still need to complete the ensemble with a wig and a
wand, and have my eye on some stripey stockings, but hopefully these will be
easy enough to pick up. And no – I’m not going to tell you what the outfit
looks like, you’ll have to wait! My biggest worry is that I will look far too
pretty and people will just imagine that I am Nell McAndrew rather than a bloke
in a frock!
Hope to have a good run to relate tomorrow!
