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 »

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 »

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 »

Three weeks ago I mentioned that I had received the scariest birthday present ever…well back then it was the fear was anticipated…today it was absolutely real! My alarm went off at 4:20am and I jumped out of bed (okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration…but I did get up straight away)…got dressed in … Continue reading »

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 »

Well my commitment to myself to get up this morning and go for a good, long walk was fulfilled. I created my ‘walking circuit’ which is about 6.8km long and took me just over an hour and a quarter. The goal time was about an hour and a half, but to be honest I thought … Continue reading »

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 »

“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 »

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 »
