Yet another quick recap:
On Monday it was a bit cold so instead of going running I stayed indoors and did some circuit training. I managed to get my heart rate around 140bpm, which I thought was fairly good considering all I was doing was mainly alternating situps, pressups, and free squats with an assortment of other minor exercises – anything to get the heart rate up. Of course, the fact that my heart got pumping with these exercises could also mean I’m unfit and breaking out in sweat at the slightest form of exertion.

Yesterday after teaching I followed 6 kids at BSSC to their animation lesson, which was quite interesting. Short quick round of bicep curls and weights.

Today was a round of piano and keyboard lessons. Some of the kids at the school I go to on Wednesdays are really bright and a joy to teach. The only thing I hate about the school is the rowdy kids, of which there are plenty. Today three of them came in to the classroom to look for another teacher who wasn’t there, and before they left I was treated to a round of “f***”s. They even tried to break the door down, and I think they were trying to provoke me into doing something rash or saying something inappropriate, which thankfully I didn’t. The sad fact is they were only eleven. The good thing is that since I left mainstream teaching behind, and moved to one-to-one tuition, I don’t have to put up with that sort of abuse day in and day out. I think it’s important to like what you do, and I don’t ever wake up going to work thinking “Gawd not another day”.

Anyway, it’s our *seventh* anniversary tonight so we’re going out. I should be doing cardio today but I didn’t have time after work, and I think it’s more important to spend time with the one you love than worry about missing the odd run.
