I got up super early this morning to go to… Venice! Piero had to leave in the late afternoon to work away for a few days and Evan wanted to stay home… so it was girl time! I had breakfast with Piero then drove to the train station. It only takes two hours to get to Venice. I listened to a podcast while flipping through a magazine… the time flew by.
I had one meeting and a lunch to go to. The meeting was with my new friend Edith Zuschmann who organizes a women’s race in Austria. We were virtually introduced by Kathrine Switzer who thought we’d have a lot in common and find things to do together. She was right! Within an hour we’d dreamed up some great plans for this year. I love when connecting with someone feels great from the start.
I said goodbye to Edith who went to enjoy a cold but gorgeous Venice day, then met up with the group I’d trained for the Venicemarathon. The time flew by. The three hours seemed like 3 minutes. I’d instantly clicked with this group and have so much fun in their company. My friend Erica was there also since she was part of the marathon group. We had to leave and hurry to the train station and get back home to our families!

Quiet day here, except for my muscles which are whining noisily after those weights yesterday. Got the Christmas tree out and tried a fab new veg-packed curry recipe.
- Breakfast – Latte. Greek yogurt with pear, almond butter and drizzle of maple syrup
- Lunch – Chicken & vegetable broth (from a tin; it tasted grim) + wholemeal bread roll
- Dinner – Vegetable Korma with basmati rice
- Exercise – Zippy 30 mins walk to enjoy the sunny day.
