Sport Relief

I feel bad about my last post.

There is nothing wrong with Aqua fit but there is plenty wrong with my attitude towards it.

I went again on Tuesday.  There was a different teacher, which was a bit of a shock, as it was the guy who teaches my daughter swimming on a Thursday evening.  The class was very different.  The other ladies of a certain age were a bit taken aback by his approach to aqua fit.  More of a synchronised swimming approach with a bit of fit thrown in.  I had a great time and despite feeling a bit embarrassed at having the same swimming teacher as my daughter will be back again next Tuesday.

The point is that I am having to change my attitude towards my fitness and why I keep at it.  Which brings me onto Sport Relief and my one mile run with my daughter on Sunday.  This is the first time that we will run together (apart from our training runs in preparation), or should I say, she runs ahead and I bring up the rear without even trying to keep up with her.  It makes me feel warm inside to be out with my daughter.  It also makes me feel warm inside to be raising money for charity for the first time.

And, I'm not even worried that it's only a mile.  After the last few months of agony my foot is beginning to repair.  I am so grateful that I promise I will never again moan about not being able to run.  There is a certain synchronicity about this injury.  A reason that I had to look at my attitude towards my fitness.  A reason that I ended up in aqua fit with ladies of a certain age.

And, the truth is, it has done me no harm at all.  I feel that I am a better and more humble person for it.
