Naked in the rain? Absolutely not!

I went to the gym yesterday - got to keep up with those goals you know! Spent a good hour and a half working out and I was in no rush like I usually am. Hopped into the shower and just when I was finishing off, one of the staff members was yelling out that there will be a fire drill any time soon and we all had to get out now. Whaaaat?!

She carried on - "Ladies!! I have dressing gowns out here for you to put on. Don't get changed! Don't get changed!" She probably saw my feet frantically trying to get into some jeans.

Hell no was I going to out without getting dressed. Was she nuts? She had managed to get some warning beforehand which I was grateful for. Imagine if there was no warning. Though I would still attempt to look somewhat decent before I would be urged out. Fire or no fire, I refuse to run out naked!

A gold medal would have been given to me for the time it took for me to get out of there. When I came out, I saw they were rushing out the poor women from the swimming pool. It was raining outside when I left the building.

So imagine standing outside in the cold, in the pouring rain, completely naked with all but a dressing gown on. It was definately a close call!

Lions and tigers in Kenya!

Very often I like to look at travel destinations - this is more than likely wishful thinking on my part. It would be a dream for me to travel the world. Who wouldn't?

So here I go searching safaris and I stumbled across this very very catchy tune. Lions and tigers in -------------> KENYA!

I played it very briefly yesterday evening and now it won't get out of my head. Woke up in the morning hearing it too. It's like someone pressed the replay button! So hypnotic watching the animals dance! For your enjoyment too :)

Running better in morning or evening?

I know. It's been a while since I've blogged about anything. No excuses.

It's a lovely sunny day here in London. I've been staying indoors waiting for my brother's parcel to arrive so while I've been doing that, I've been lazing about.

I haven't been to the gym since.....probably the end of last year. And when I say the end, it means most likely before October. Though I had my excuses with working full-time here and there and the huge fact that the gym was too far away. I feel I've been lacking.

So today - I've been influenced by the good weather and have decided to put myself back on schedule to get fit before my holiday in about three weeks. I'm a bit unsure about travelling into central to use the gym there so I may just do daily jogs outside in the early mornings or late evenings.

Just did a little googling search to try to find out if it's better to run in the early morning or in the evening. Nice little debate there. I found an article on Running Times which suggests running in the evening is easier and our lungs work better around this time. Morning not so much - but wouldn't that mean that you put your body to work harder in the mornings? Looking at everyone's preferences in the comments below of the article, evening or nighttime runs are most popular.

I used to run in the mornings and had no problems with it. Though I was never a morning person. I've never tried running in the evening. Perhaps I might try today and see how I feel. Better start getting fit or I'll never get myself into it!
