The good times

Who does not love the feeling of leaving work on a Friday afternoon? A whole weekend ahead. How we love those days – those two, way too quick days.

After leaving work Friday I headed for the gym. Time to do the gym challenge, but for real this time. The rules were a little bit more specific. No rest in-between the different steps of the challenge (if rest is taken this time will be added to the final time)

2km rowing (level 10 = highest). Result = 08:00.2
3km run. Result = 14:58
5km cycle (level 3 = very low). Result = 08:37
Final time: 31:35.2

To my disappointment, so far no other women have participated. Hopefully by the deadline 7th November, someone has challenged me.

On Saturday I first went to gym, then prepared to head into London. Although, in typical Emma-style I forgot to do the most important thing... make sure there was money on my card! Luckily I had enough cash to pay for the train. An emergency call to the bank of mum and dad saved my evening in London. I met up with university friend James. Dinner, some drinks and a funny stand-up comedy show made it a very good night. Not much for celebrating Halloween, but oh well! The picture below was taken with flash by mistake. I had turned the flash off earlier so no idea why it happened. How I wish it had not. The comedian made a funny remark on my behalf because of this.


Sunday was a day for relaxing. Walked to town and got some Xmas presents for my sister. Good to start early. Christmas will be here before you know it! Also got a really nice blue H&M dress for myself :) Yay!
