Blogging whilst waiting for children

It is with great pride that I let you know that my 8yo dd is a swimmer like me ( or like what I was in my younger years).

 

She swims 3 days a week for HPK, does a race night once a fortnight and she also went to her first competition last Sunday.

 

The reason I am telling you this is because her Saturday morning 2 hour training session has allowed me to tick off 2 of my goals today:

1. I have been for a half hour walk and used my phone to 'Map My Run'
2. I started writing this blog (took about half an hour to format and complete when I got home)

As you can see from the picture below this is an outside pool BUT it is heated (warmer than the indoor heated pool they normally train in).  They are swimming in the Pakuranga College pool for the next 2 weeks on a Saturday.

As you can see by the jackets in the background it was a really cold day, the wind was icy and it kept raining off and on.  I went for my walk and then stood by the pool for about 5 minutes before going back to the car to write the blog.

 

 

All in all a successful start to my Saturday – lets see if I can do my third goal which is to stay at home for at least 1/2 a day and get some stuff done!
