 Friday 01 July (day 5 in Tampere)

I spent the morning at my apartment. I did some online exercises, Chris’s yoga plus a stretching session that I found. I was tired after yesterday’s cross country maybe? So I had a snooze and after lunch of crisps, olives and cheese, I headed for Hervanta Stadium. I checked out the lie of the land. There are showers here, which is a good thing as it is still very warm. I met Siwan Eleri Jones and her partner Huw, and a had a couple of beers with him at Ale Pub Potti. Back at the apartment I had another snooze and then went to the shop to return some empties and buy some more food. I have bought some ice cream as a treat! I am having an early night – it is the 5000 metres tomorrow morning at 10am.

  Tuesday 28 June (day 2 in Tampere) I woke up at around 7:30 (again). I made tea and coffee and I pottered about for a while. It is already very hot here again. I am doing things like Wordle & Duolingo in addition to my housekeeping. My back is killing me so I made a point of doing 35 minutes of Yoga (by Chris on demand). NB. I suspect the back pain may be due to me transporting my large suitcase which weighs 20Kg. I had to carry it up and down some steps at stations where the lifts were not working. I had bacon, egg and mushrooms for breakfast and sent a message to Kay. I stayed in the apartment during the morning. The ID cards were not available until late afternoon. I had some ham and cheese with salad for lunch. So, late afternoon I headed for the stadium and collected my Athlete ID card. On the way back I called in at the supermarket, I bought two cans of cider, some Pepsi Max, some bacon, some spring onions, and a big bag of crisps. I had an early night.
