Since I've been struggling with the old back ( I gonna be 32 in 4 days!) today is a Pilates only day.
To increase my activity today I walked to Stratford which is a mammoth 0.7 miles and then walked to work from Liverpool Street Station via the Millennium Bridge. I passed a very long line outside the London Wall branch of o2. Crazy people wanting their iPhone on the first day. I don't understand why, but I do own alot of Apple products.
I had my lunch Pilates class today. I told my Mel about my back and she kept an eye on me throughout the class. It wasn't too bad and I managed to do all the exercises. It's always rubbish going back to work after Pilates, I always want to have a siesta!
Chris met me after work and we both walked to Liverpool Street. The route we walk totals 1.7 miles.
It's gonna be a hot night, so I hope the crazy rasta across the road doesn't spend all night shouting and drinking his can of red stripe! I called the nuisance neighbours line last night, they said he is know to them and that they will follow up my complaint. Result!

Appleton Park Run
This weekend I'm visiting my parents in Leicester. I wasn't sure how I would get my run in, but I figured it would be easier to do it in the morning, so I could spend the rest of the day playing with my nephew Aryan.
The park near my parents house is called Appleton Park. I remember it being 'created' as a park when I was younger. I learnt to ride a bike in the same park.
When I mentioned to my parents I wanted to go for a run, they just looked at me. They didn't get it. Exercise in my family, isn't something that occurs to them. I've tried over the years to get them to move more, but they don't get it!
The park is not used very much and hasn't had much good press. My mum wanted to come with me. I convinced her, to stay at home.
I didn't know what the park was like for paths, so I just followed on which lead to a dead end, so I went back and took another path, that was also dead end. This path came to a overgrown field with 4 horses in it. Tomorrow, I'll take my phone, so I can take a picture of the horses. I decided to run along the edge in a small circuit. I did that twice. The run was over! Hurrah.
Tomorrow, I'm going to run to the park and then to my brothers house. Aryan looks like he's going to wake up, so I better finish. Too Late, his awake. He's on my lap as I finish
