In the absence of any outdoor running....

[Seafront Plodder]

I actually managed to keep my date with the gym, and ground out 13,123.36 cubits on the treddy.

A local hotel is doing a bit of a deal at the moment. For 50 florins (that's £5 in new-fangled money ) per visit, one can get an evening of unlimited gym and pool use, with sauna and steam room also available it seems like a cheap evening out to me....so we've bought a book of 10 visits each, with no time limit on usage either.

Forgot though how utterly tediously dull the treadmill is though. I spent part of the time listening to the gushing encouragement of the 'personal trainer' as she took a newbie through an ultra-light run/walk session on the treadmill next to me, only pausing occasionally to studiously record some note on her all important clipboard.

iPod next week that's for sure.
