Run run as fast as you can

In my mind…the idea of Friday Fun doesn’t include a Friday Run…but apparently our bootcamp trainer thinks differently. Our session this morning involved a run around the park…sounds okay…except that means about 5 kilometers with the first half all up hill…and to top it off, at each corner we had to do 10 push ups … Continue reading »

Who threw the first punch…

I don’t think I have ever thrown a real punch before…but today, not only did I learn how to but I also learned that I am quite good at it and really like doing it. Now let me explain that I was wearing my brand new, very protective boxing gloves…so there was almost no chance … Continue reading »

Back for seconds

So my alarm goes off again at 4:20am and I got out of bed and voluntarily went out to the gym. It was raining a little but it didn’t worry me as the gym is indoors…or so I thought…not today apparently!!! Just because she can…the trainer advises us that we are going to the park … Continue reading »

And Monday Off Too!

I do wonder why we still have gazetted public holidays on the day before or after the actual day. Not that I am complaining…it means I get several long weekends/short working weeks each year regardless of what day the special date lands. Though for those who work in the retail segment of society, there is … Continue reading »

The Temple

I’m really looking forward to going to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat. I know a little about it and the history of how it has come to be what it is today, though I am really looking forward to learning more from those that know all there is to know. Today though, my focus was … Continue reading »

Time flies when you’re

“Having Fun”….or doing something completely unproductive… I learned a long time ago that hours can slip away in a moment when you are ‘playing around’ on a computer…I’ll just sit down to check my email or pay a bill…and an hour later I’ll get up without having opened more than the first email, because it … Continue reading »

Train of Thought

Already as I start to write about my day, my mind is jumping ahead to new thoughts that aren’t related to what I am writing about. I’m sure there is a technical term for it…but for now I’ll just go with ‘attention’. As a child I was told to ‘pay attention’…though now, as I am … Continue reading »

I think our tank is full now! Thanks Mother Nature, I appreciate you very much…you can relax now and settle down for a quiet night! …No? You want to throw lightening bolts at us and hail stones the size of cricket balls?!?! Ohhh…okay then…. Unfortunately, the hail stone size was not an exaggeration though it … Continue reading »
