Cheers to an early weekend.

You know how you wait and wait for that time off to come, and then it arrives, and your so excited .... you don't know where to begin. Well that's how I feel. Yes I know time off from work, is also an excellent opportunity to catch up on chores, washing, and spring cleaning.  BUT!!! There are some fun things I have to do first....... Family time, training time, and friend catch up time.  The washing will still be waiting for me, and the floors, and the bedrooms.

Tonight we went out for dinner as a family.  Rarely do we go out for dinner as with 3 kids, it can become quite expensive.  I ordered the Barra Burger, ended up eating it minus the burger roll & chips.....well ok I had a few chips... but really who can't resist a few chips with a pub meal!  Honesty!!  It was a great dinner, and as we were in Labrador (aka Ian's Step Into Life Territory), I felt it appropriate to take the family on a tour of the blood, sweat, and tears Hills & training grounds that have become my nemesis over the past few weeks. In my opinion, It is an important part of the journey that the family know where your going, what your doing, they know the why..... they have lived this journey with me from the day they met me!

So first stop was Whiting Street, ok Mummy runs up here.....WOW! Its steep in the car,.... no wonder it hit my calf muscles hard..... then it was a drive along Government Road to show them where we begin our runs from, and where we train.  They were fascinated to see a training session in progress, with Ian out on the Oval putting the girls through their paces.  As it was getting late, we didn't intrude, but they have a greater understanding of the kind of training we do there.  We drove off down my nemisis, the royal pain in my calves.... Imperial Parade. 

Can't believe its Thursday again tomorrow.  Such an awesome day planned. Sparring with a friend in the morning to get my boxing fix, I love boxing...... Then its healthy brunch with my colleague & great friend with her 2 daughters, and the rest is up to the organisational gods.  UNTIL the evening.... when its time to KICKBOX ....

Loving the training points, and reports from Step Into Life.  It is such a push to earn the points.  I enjoy it so much, I forget its exercise sometimes.  I also want to report in and say my Stress Levels have definitely decreased this week, thanks to the cardiomax sessions.  Energy levels have also increased.

Night for now x Jac
