Aching legs and lager shandy!

I`m very happy with myself tonight though I have to admit that my legs ache a bit. I went to a gym with a good friend of mine near Brands Hatch. The gym was fantastic and there was also the added bonuses of a swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Firstly I did 2000 metres on an exercise bike and followed this with 2.75 miles (30mins56seconds) on a running machine, I wanted to run 3 miles but it was getting tough near the end so I will try again next week. I didn`t run particularly fast but I`m not sure if I`ve ever ran continuously for half an hour before so I suppose that`s something to be proud of. A nice dip in the swimming pool followed by ten minutes in the sauna was exactly what the doctor ordered. We then caught the end of the Nottingham Forest - Derby match in the bar after, my two pints of lager shandy have never tasted so good.
