In Love With Formula 1

Part 13

It was the Tuesday after race weekend and I was with Lando and he had roped me in to doing one of his home workouts with him, I was not built for this sort of exercise at all but when it came to the neck training Lando was once again surprised by my skills saying I could handle it better than him, I highly doubted that but it definitely felt good knowing I had some sort of fitness level still. But when it came to the cardio part I was dying, I hated cardio and the only way I would do it is if it were either cycling or rowing, but of course it was a 5k run. I felt like I was going to collapse after we did it but I was quite proud that I had done it. The weights bit was where I could show off, when I was at school there was a gym and I used to train with the boys who would push me to bench press ridiculous weights, I ended up dead lifting 110kg and bench pressing 90kg I don't think anyone expected it, including myself. Lando's trainer, Jon was even shocked at my performance.

Later on Lando was cooking some dinner and I was just getting out of the shower about to change in to my pajamas when I heard a child like scream from downstairs, I was guessing Lando had burnt something or dropped something so I went downstairs too have a look at what he was overreacting about. As suspected it was an overreaction, he didn't know how to use a tin opener so when he opened the tin of coconut milk for the curry it went flying across the room. It was definitely very funny but I tried to hold back my laughs just to help clean up the mess he had made.

"I forgot to say but Flo wants to meet up with you for a coffee tomorrow if you are free?" Lando said whilst wiping the mess up

"Yeh sure, do you know why she wants to meet me?"

"No clue, I think she likes you though, she said you're really funny to me earlier after we watched your interview with Damon, Daniel and Natalie from behind the camera"

"Oh gosh that interview was a complete mess the only reason me and Damon were a part of it is because we kept laughing"

"Yeh the camera picked up the laughing I'm pretty sure"

"Shit"

"No I think everyone will enjoy it, you bring some valuable humour in to the paddock"

"Good to know people think I'm funny" I said as the alarm went off for the curry, dinner was finally ready.

We ate dinner in front of the TV watching gogglebox until around 10pm and I decided to actually sleep in bed instead of on the sofa for once.

I woke up the next day and started getting ready for my coffee date with Flo, I had a shower and changed in to a pair of blue flared jeans and an oversized black turtle neck with my white trainers. I tied my hair up in a low bun and skipped the makeup because I wasn't feeling it. I walked downstairs quietly knowing that Lando was still asleep, it was 9am so I didn't blame him, I was as quiet as possible eating my cereal and I left a note saying I had left to meet Flo on the kitchen counter by the kettle and I left the house and tried to be quiet turning my car on but that was an impossible task.

I drove to meet Flo at this little cafe in this pretty village and parked in the carpark, I walked to the cafe and Flo was already there ordering us both a coffee.

"Hey you alright" I said as I walked in greeting Flo with a hug

"I'm good thank you, and yourself?"

"Tired mate, very tired, how are you awake this early?"

"Habits I guess but it's always quieter at this time of day"

"I see"

We walked over to a table and sat down drinking our coffee and Flo was looking at me really weirdly,
