I decided to stay in and watch the Club World Cup games today and discovered that one was from Atlanta, and the other from New Jersey, two of the places I’d been spending time in the last couple of months. I’m still wondering what day it is and unsure what’s bedtime, but I suppose it takes a week to de-jet lag and find your waking hours. I’ve traditionally stayed up late but spent the last two months in America getting up early. I’m wondering if getting up early is automatically associated with exercise? It seems if I’m going to be getting back into swimming, then that’s going to be around noon which means getting up, getting brekkie and getting there, and it’s not as close as it used to be, a little too far to walk, if only because of the time it would take, it’s already a mega chunk out of the day by the time you’ve got there, done laps, showered and got back but it would be tragic to think that it takes too long to stay alive. “Early to bed, early to rise, keep you healthy, wealthy and wise”…. and busy with not enough time to fit everything in, haha.
