12 April 2011

Though still mainly sunny, it has turned much cooler - a drop of around 10C compared to the heady temperatures of the weekend. We stayed around the house and went into Abergavenny with Mum and Dad. In the evening I went to the leisure centre for a swim as I am missing my former level of exercise. It felt so strange to be going there after so many years; that same pool where I attended school swimming lessons and swam races. I was pleased to find it very quiet in there for the adult lane swimming: only about a dozen people in total. After a short while I got the fast lane all to myself and swam without stopping for half an hour. I could feel my triceps aching after a whole month or more with just the odd run and no upper body exercise.
