Eddie’s comment. I was to go do a run then a ride by myself when I got a call from Adam Calf who said groover lets do a 4km soft sand run and then swim. So off I went and we swam way too far and fast. From the Canoe pool at Newie down to The Bogie Hole and back. I was a tad tired and then I rode over to Merewether to a friends place and back to Newie.

Eddie’s comment. I  had a great morning and lunch on the beach with my daughters while on Patrol which overshadowed some of the turbulence of the last week with the rush and other matters pertaining too such. I bumped into an old friend Travis from overseas who used to work nearby and he wanted a pic of me with his dog Pumba to send out on his blog.

Eddie’s comment. I started in the morning darkness it was great for a run before Christmas. I did a few push ups before Cath got out and decided to rev it up a bit and plonked herself on top of me. How ‘s that groovy dude I said get off after 3 more push ups you are hurting my little arms you sausage roll. We had a fast little run and when we met Oenone who has been christened 111 by Jase. Jase is the king of nickname delegation. 111stands for 1st place in a world title 1st place in a Commonwealth Games Time Trial and 1st place in …Beauty I think. Or then Jase being and IT nerd may have thought 1st placed Olympian to marry an IT nerd in young Joel ? All groovy as Joel is a great guy like us. 111 you rock sister. Then further on we met Samara who is proud and high maintenance and recently got a talking to from Cathy-see pic, as she boycotted us in a fun picture with 111. Jase totally disagreed with me but again look at the pic Jase. She is even laughing at Cath, un cool, unfab I say. Oh yeah I also got a presie from Cath when we finished the run. A book tittled…”the happiness we share”.

Eddie’s comment. A great class with instructor Larissa who had some top songs playing. I set up alongside Tommy who has become a good friend and together we really powered thru the session. Shane was decked out in his Blue Santa hat for this our last class on these bikes. Did a great little weights session too with abs and I spoke to my old speech Therapist from the Brain injury clinic Princess Danielle who was doing her Ab workout too. We marveled at the year just gone and how fab it all is now. Especially as Danielle has a whole new great fit looking body as a result from her commitment and dedication in following thru with her goal. Well done Danielle, you are and always will be an inspiration to me. I also dropped into the big pump Christmas class with Kristy which was mad. I also spoke with Forum CEO Samantha martin which was great too.Today on the front page of the Weekender in The Herald was a story on my Christmas of 10 years ago. Other Media and the NBN crew were at the wharf for a news job and saw me and started sledging and laughing at me in my Santa hat on a boat for The Herald photographer. So here is a pic of me with NBN Journo Lobby and Camera man Rourkey by the Telegraph photographer Shirl. All good fun.
