midwife crisis

strange but wonderful

Something strange has descended upon this house today. Hubs and I got up and did some Yoga together, this is usually a solo event for each of us (but the up side was watching him work on his blossoming abs)! Do abs blossom???
Then we decided to go for a run. We don't run!??? We watched a barefoot running video (thank you minktoast) and practised posture and running style with a broom handle (you need to see the video) and then went for a 1 km run. It was fine, in fact v good....so we ate a good protein filled breakfast and went for bike ride!!

Seb and Linda' s place in Balleydehob was our destination, via the Mount Gabriel road again. I made it there without having to stop, utterly amazing! We were treated to a delicious lunch ( I think they felt sorry for the pink and puffing sight of me wobbling up their lane). We then had a tromp around their 33 acres(was there no end to our exercise overdose madness)?
Linda took us to this ancient chapel ruin on their land, it's only low walls now, but it has a very tranquil site and feel to it. Their place is nestled in the mountains with wonderful panoramic views which are just glimpsed in the background.
We treated ourselves to a case of their organic wine (not brought home on the bike) in the expectation that we might need excessive amounts tonight to dull the expected aches and pains!
What a buzz we've both had from so much exercise. I've been grinning all day!
So this evening has brought an appetite of gargantuan proportions, a long hot bath and some arnica gel on the quads.......I can't even begin to think what state I'll be tomorrow!
I'm snuggling up with Hubs for an episode of 'Breaking Bad' tonight. We'll have the anti inflammatory pills/gel/spray at the ready. Who knows what Sunday will bring...?
