After not training all week last week (mostly due to working late and beer & wine tastings), I eased back into it on Saturday with a bit of cardio and some weights at the gym. This was in prep for my long run on Sunday - which I knew I had to do if there is any hope for me next Sunday at the run for the kids. I ran 16 fucking k's on Sunday. My ( Read more... )

Well the 10k went really well. The race started and I took off. I had to stop and wait for S (we agreed to run together) as she had a cramp and had to run slow. This virtually never happens as she is a much better runner than me. We went at an OK pace (kind of slow) for most of the race and she picked up the pace on the last 2k's.

We stood by the back door (which wasn't open as it was on the wrong side of the tram). The tram doors had closed and the tram started moving up Collins Street, when ( Read more... )

Australia only has enough live ammunition to sustain about 4 hours of full-scale war. We (I consider myself Australian for the purposes of this post) will do and follow whatever any US President tells us to do as we certainly hope you come to help us if anyone ever attacks. As much as I hate Howard, I do recognise that he has to kiss up to Bush ( Read more... )

I am drunk or pissed or whatever you want to call it. My girl has conference calls to attend to so I am left to entertain myself. I just had a very surreal experience at our work bar where my bosses PA told this girl I just hired not to socialise with me. She said something about keeping our work-lives and our social-lives separate and then left ( Read more... )

And my work-mates say I have no life.

OK, I'm ready for summer to be over. Either that or my air conditioner to start working.
