I
feel rather unfit at the moment. It may just be the tiredness affecting me
after a few nights of interrupted sleep, but I feel sluggish and slow and not
really on my Spring game. It's like having a slight hangover the day after a lot
of physical exertion - things ache and my brain feels fuzzy and undernourished.
It's as if I am recovering from a stomach bug, flu and jetlag at the same time.
I need vitamins and rest and then I need to start getting my fitness levels up
again. The Patented Rory Velociped would normally be getting regular outings by
now but having a one-year-old son and another one at school doesn't really help
with a routine of exercise, so that particular piece of equipment is lodged
firmly in the garden shed somewhere...
Swimming may be the answer. I always feel better after a plunge and I work near
the sea and I have access to a nice pool onsite so there's really no excuse to
not be taking advantage. It's a good all-body exercise that doesn't put too
much strain on muscles while working them all effectively, it's a simple way to
get the endorphins released and coursing through the system, and I've always
found that it doesn't take long to start feeling the benefits. So maybe I
should start coming into work an hour or so early and doing a few lengths
before the punters turn up...
