Day 44: It is a beautiful sunny day in Glasgow

What a surprise, a beautiful warm and sunny day in Uddingston near Glasgow today when it has been quite cool in the last week or so. Caught me off guard as I ended up doing my exercises in the blazing sun. Nothing like Tokyo, so I didn't feel too bad, but the naysayers all saying don't exercise between 12 and 3. Interesting how I still meet naysayers who surprise me by saying not to overdo it and think that PCP is all a bit fanatical and excessive. I would say that the way I feel (other than the pain) and how I look (much, much better) is testament to what I am doing on PCP and the food etc that I eat is actually healthy compared to what I see others around me eating.

Skipping for me has fallen off a cliff backwards. I have switched to stationary skipping in advance of my trip to Bali as I cannot foresee distance skipping there. I think I will have to find a shady tree to skip under. So there is an awful lot of stumbling. Am trying to skip faster, but with all my stumbling in the past 2 days have only managed to do 800-850 skips per 7 x 2 min session. Am more exhausted than I was before but not doing as much. But I am assuming that each stumble is still a jump, so not much I can do about it other than persevere.
