Wednesday 28 January.
The route I picked this morning for my run was to the end of town and up the long hill at the start of the bus route to Tamaimo. At the first roundabout I cut down to the contour road then over to the Lidl roundabout then up the hill to zigzag path down to Los Gigantes. It was down to the tree in the town centre then back up and along the coastal path and home. I was feeling quite good after stretching and managed a reasonable pace all the way especially up the hills. My time was 59:49 minutes this was 1:35 minutes faster than the last time I did it in this direction, I must be getting quicker.
Stretching then breakfast after which Moira was going for a walk. I decided to go with her. We were heading for Los Gigantes but at the turning down to the coastal path we went the other way to investigate a route to the top of the hill that we had researched from a map of the town. After a few dead ends we eventually found a track from the end of a street that led up to the contour road. We walked from there the way I had run this morning, going down the zigzag path into Los Gigantes. We went all the way down to the harbour and walked round in the 'other' direction. It was mainly shops and restaurants and there was a group kitted out in life jackets preparing to go out conoeing. We turned and headed back the normal way to the coastal path and home. The views along the coast and cliff were outstanding and I got a few nice photographs. It was now very warm in the mid-day sun as we made our way back to the flat for lunch.
I got the radio going through the Internet on the Notebook and we listened to Jeremy Vine while having lunch. At 2 pm I decided to go to the gym and Moira came along for the walk, she headed back again when we got there. I spent an hour working on my arms with various exercises for biceps and triceps. I did a few sit-ups and hip extensions for my abs before heading home. I had arranged a time with Moira to open the gate but I was early and luckily some workmen had the gate open when I arrived. Moira was on the way down the stairs as I made my way up, it saved her going all the way to the gate.
I showered and shaved as soon as I got in then relaxed with a cup of coffee and listened to some comedy shows on 'catch-up' radio. Later it was the early evening quizzes on TV before dinner. There was only the Tudor period drama series, 'Wolf Hall', on later. I couldn't follow the dialogue last week and decided not to bother with it. Moira liked it and watched it on the TV in the bedroom while I tuned into a couple of programmes I had recorded on the Freeview box. There as the 'Dr. Who Christmas Special' a bit weird and very difficult to follow. Next there was an 'Inspector Frost'; it was only at the very end that I realised I had seen it before, but it was very good. When I went through to bed Moira had given up on 'Wolf Hall', she said it was all done by candle light and she couldn't see who was talking, it was like listening to it on the radio.
