I've been kinda busy


Ok ok... This one person with too many computers is a bit much. My husband's moved the iMac into his office so I only have 2 laptops to work with! I only played music on the iMac anyway. Yah, so, sorry for the lack of posts.

I have to admit though, I haven't been running as much as I'd like. But I have included yoga and spin into my training.

I also spent 10 days up on the Sunshine Coast running and swimming almost everyday. Three of the 10 days I was able to spend in silence. Yoga, meditation and silence. Perfect way to re-center myself. My husband and our friends came up later to join me for some fun in the sun.

Look! I even have proof of me swimming!

Blend!
