It’s all change in my life right now (new hometown, new job, new season…) and the most recent evolution is my purchasing of a car. And it’s not just ‘a’ car, it’s my first ever car! It also came with a free kayak (!) among many other bits and bobs including a jar of jam and a trance CD. So it doesn’t have a warrant of fitness or registration but that’s beside the point, don’t try and tell me I didn’t get a good deal on this bad boy! Today was my first day off this week and this morning was spent pursuing that all important warrant of fitness to get my ride legal. It wasn’t as simple as dropping it off at a garage to get it ship shape, like I’d hoped, but it seems it will be an affordable, if a little timely, fix up. Here’s a pic of the beast (minus kayak).

After a while of driving between various garages (who knew there were all different kinds?!), I drove to the gym for a personal training session, ensuring no eye contact was made with passing police. I was little early so strapped up my sneaks and headed out on to the surrounding playing fields to get a cheeky 5k in. There’s not much to report as it was a pretty plain route compared to some of my recent runs. The Remarkables looked down on me under a grey sky, and a plane took off on the airport runway behind the fields. 

Nevertheless, my little jog had me warmed up and ready for some iron pumping; I got a good session in at the gym, working on my legs and chest. My body building is going well anyway, I feel like I’m getting back to the tone (or even more than) I had at home when I trained at a boxing gym. Jodie Marsh eat your heart out!
