All over

My mind...

Last night Jared called and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. I was in for sure, never pass up an opportunity for a walk around town. So he swung by as per normal but didn't come in, just waited for me at the door. I knew something was up right away 'cause he's normally all upbeat and comes in and chats everyone up. So I just got ready to head out. He handed me a piece of paper. It was his mark from a presentation (he got 6/15). It sucked, but he didn't fail by much and there was another component to the assignment that was out of 35 and I'm sure that helped him out huge. I had a feeling that wasn't really what was bothering him. I mean failing sucks, but it was different sorta vibe for sure. So we headed out for a walk and I asked him what was up and he pretty much broke down and told me that his dog died the night before. Terrible feeling. He had that dog for 13 years. I can understand because I know how close I am with Lucas and I would be devastated if he died and was gone while I was here and I didn't get to see him one last time. He was pretty upset and understandably so. I tried my best to comfort him but I mean what do you say really? Anyways we walked around for a bit talking about it all and then parted ways. I hope he's feeling better today, 'cause he's the one that makes the rest of us happy most of the time with his joking nature and just always upbeat energy about him.

Today I trained. WOW, who's surprised?! I did an hour/hour brick. One hour on the trainer out in the back and then an hour run around the usual spots. That run. UNBELIEVABLE! I'm going to have to take a camera with me one of these times and just randomly take pics as I run. I can't describe it. I run down to the start of our path at South beach and you kinda run up it from Corimal til you hit the top and can see the ocean. From there you go left and North along it. This morning was just one of those mornings. I got goosebumps. Thinking about it gives me goosebumps! It was a PERFECT morning. The sun was up and was shining off the water, which was calm, and the sky was just a perfect crystal clear blue. It gives me energy. I love it. I love it I love it I LOVE IT! I wish I could bottle it up and bring it home with me. I found a nice new little deviation that kinda brings me onto a road for a short part (Magpie driven deviation, though the magpie is gone from that part, but I'm still liking this for now) before connecting back to the path along Squires Way.

Made some changes to my bike today, just little tweaks here and there.

Jubers is at work, buffet hell on earth. She's a little workhorse that one! I love her to death for it!

I'm gonna start planning and organizing for my last 5 assignments that are in a couple of weeks.

I'm excited to race. I cut my hair down today also. I'll let it grow out until the day before we leave for Canberra ( 3 weeks-ish) then I'll cut a mohawk in it! :) That oughta be fun, haha.

So that's it for today I guess. Take home messages are: I hope Jared is feeling better today after talking to his parents last night. This place is un-fricken-believable. School is nearing the end! Training is spot on and I'm feelin' fast maaaaaan! Tunes is the best. Period. Full-stop.
