I am very happy to say I am feeling much better today after lots of sleep and general relaxation- phew just wanted to get that out of the way!
Yesterday I went to pick up my Chinese visa from the Consulate. I aimed to get there shortly after 9am but didn't bank on the 31 taking sooooo long! I could have walked if I had been feeling up to it and incorporated it into my training but instead I spent 40 minutes staring out of the window! Happily I remembered (just) to get off at the right bus stop and wandered round to the office. It was quite busy but the staff are so efficient that I didn't have to wait long. A couple of questions and then bravo I got my passport back complete with Chinese visa stuck inside. It even has a lovely picture of the Great Wall on it, very apt. I would link to a picture of it but I'm not sure about displaying my name, passport number, date of birth etc to the world! I also need to learn how to do that anyway, this is still all a bit new to me. I handed over my £30 then headed to work for a while.
I am reaping the benefits of working overtime as I have had most of yesterday and today off work without taking annual leave. It has been great and allowed me to rest up and feel better. After a brief visit today to the lab I ran home, my first run since Saturday. It's only around 2.2 miles according to mapmyrun but it's a start and it's been great to get some miles under my belt after such an off week. A few days ago I couldn't imagine doing the 10k on Sunday but I definitely feel ready for it now, just need to avoid any silly injuries. I'm getting quite excited about it now!
I think it is only 8 weeks today until we fly out, it's getting so close. I'm looking forward to starting training properly for the trek after the 10k and wearing in my boots. I am also very much looking forward to going back to Bodyattack, combat and trying out Zumba, I miss my classes. Is that a bit wrong?
