Commitments

I’m committed to a lot of things. I’m committed to my lil Tuna, to make her happy and take care of her for the rest of her life. I’m committed to my schooling and getting a great education to come home and find a job, so I can take care of my lil Tunes for the rest of her life. I’m Committed to my training and racing, to living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of myself. I’m committed to my family, which is growing fast and furious! I’m committed to a lot of things in life. There’s no bigger commitment though, than to my little Tuna. I sometime imagine what it would be like to be without here, especially here in a completely foreign place. Sure I’ve met some people and have Jared, but she’s what really keeps me going forward. I’d never have a chance of accomplishing what I have and what I will without her. So I’m committed to her 100% in whatever she needs from me. Commitment is important in life, you must fully commit yourself to something, or someone, in order to be completely satisfied, or to succeed in life.

We planned some of our trip in July. We’ll go to Brisbane, run the half/full marathons and then make our way up to Cairns. We got a one way train ticket ($285) and will stop in certain places to see stuff. We want to see the great barrier reef (duh), Fraser Island, Airlie Beach, and cape Tribulation (rain forests). We’d also like to do skydiving. I need that element of adventure, and seeing stuff is cool and fun, but I hate the though of actually relaxing and enjoying myself, not exactly my style. The adrenaline needs to be pumping. So that’s it, we’re gonna do our own thing, set our own path and just go for it. We looked at a few tours but the dates of departure/arrival just didn’t make sense given the time frame of my break.

I’m well into my training now for the sixfoot marathon. And we have a total of 5 of us going, so costs are way down! NIIIIIICE. I’ve booked a place, basically $150 for the five of us per night and we’ve got it for two nights. We’re right at Jenolan Caves which is right at the finish so that’ll be cool. I’m really excited for this trip, and the whole experience! I’ve also booked a car which is like $45 or so per day plus gas, unlimited KMs. Bring on the blue mountains!
I like to run. The end.
