I didn't get any exercise other than a fair amount of walking around the city during the 4 hours we had to kill until lunchtime and then the bout. I ate two big meals, both at a vegan restaurant called Stereo.<br /><br />We left Glasgow at 11pm and got back to London at 7am. We took it easy all day, recovering from the lack of sleep due to spending two nights in a row on coaches. No exercise.Missylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02707486218738284801noreply@blogger.com0
