Blackwater, Rotation 6 of 10, Day 9 of 11...

Still expecting 10 rotations here - i.e. until end January, but I'm still playing the game by telling everyone there's no need for me to be here beyond Christmas - as long as we all commit to that, which is unlikely!

Anyway, still trying to get a run in whenever I can. Last night was successful with 7.05km in 42:02 at 5:57/km pace. A very even pace with no aches and pains and a good cool down at the end.

I think at best all I'm doing is maintaining whatever fitness I had before I came to Blackwater, rather than actually improving. But I guess I have to be thankful of just that.

I have some doubts over my ability to keep up the exercise over Christmas. But I think I will be kept active by all the jobs I've avoided around the house for the last 3 months.

This weekend we have a good task - putting up the Christmas tree, and a bad task - writing Christmas cards for overseas! I always start with a good intention to write an individual message in each card, but after 2 or 3 cards they're lucky to get a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year".

At least you are still maintaining your fitness - that's all you really need to do for now.
