Instead of going to the gym (actually the boxing club, but gym sounds so much better) in the morning, I had my boxing session with Tony booked in for the evening. I work in the mornings now and thought that going in the evening would leave me with plenty of time to do other stuff during the day.

When I came at the gym I saw to my big surprise that Lee, my neighbour, was working at the reception. In a way I should have known that I would bump into him at this place. He looks pretty muscled and there aren’t many places around here that can assist you with getting a body like that. Unless you have your home gym, there is nowhere else to go. He greeted me with a surprised look on his face as if he could not imagine a girl like me likes to do boxing.

This weekend has been a quiet one. Yesterday I didn’t had to work, but I did end up going to the swimming pool. I felt like having a good swim and did about 3 kilometers in a hour. I was pretty tired from it, but it also felt very refreshing. I can understand that some people don’t find it much fun to swim lap after lap when they can do more exciting exercises, but for me it is heavenly. It is almost like meditation to have an empty mind and completely focus on your breath and strokes.

Russell was working and told me that if I wanted I could come for a swim after closing hours as long as I brought someone along. I was pretty surprised because at my previous job that was not allowed, but I guess since they are more relaxed here they don’t really care about that sort of stuff. I can swim whenever I want as long as I am not by myself - in case something happens to me - so there’s always someone who can help or get help. It is nice to keep in mind in case I make any friends in the hopefully near future.
