So, three British Military Fitness classes over the last few days: a rare Saturday session followed by Monday and Wednesday evenings. I seem to have brought an end to global warming with my last comment on the subject as last night was really quite chilly. The car read 9°C when I got back into it last night, but my hands felt colder. The middle finger of my left hand did that weird dying thing for about two hours afterwards, and remained completely white while the rest of my hands warmed up and turned pink again.

Still, at least the cold weather should kill off whatever little monsters bit or stung me on the back of the leg on Saturday, the after-effects of which are still driving me nuts five days later.

Other monstrous things included a repeat of Dan’s fartlek special on Monday, and all of the leopard crawling last night. Oh, and the multiple plank manoeuvres which have given me a tummy ache today. Reminds me of one morning after a wedding when all of the guests woke  up with stomach pains. It wasn’t the food that affected us; it was some slightly over-enthusiastic moves to “Oops Up Side Your Head” – rather like this but with fewer props and more vigour.

Evidentally my appearance is fairly monstrous too. Instructor Harry remarked, during the water break on Saturday, that I appeared to be “leaking water.” The look on his face said: “Gosh, I thought ladies were supposed to merely glow…”
