Massage Day today! Just when I think my hamstrings cant possibly get any tighter - Massage Day comes along and Bobbie works her magic on my poor, overused legs. Today's session was particularly great, as she eased out all the bits and pieces and helped me to relax too. Thanks Bobbie!
This evening I met some great friends and running partners for a recovery trot around Kommetjie. The sea was frothy and the swell was huge, and it made for a gorgeous sunset run. Every one of these friends has shared at least one very special running moment with me, and we laughed and remembered together over a glass of bubbles after the run. I really feel an abundance of gratitude and blessings for the wonderful people in my life.
We chatted about the forthcoming trip, and several comments were made about how fabulous the plane trip will be with Air Singapore. They have a huge variety of movies to choose from, apparently, and when you want to sleep, you ask your stewardess to please bring you a mask. Some debate ensued over the appropriate use of the mask, but the final consensus was that I will ask for one, and use it - to ensure no dry eyes, and that I get some sleep on the plane. Jet lag, I'm told, is not at all pretty!
Right, time to go and get some beauty sleep...
