20:00 | Easy RUN (!) on grass Its one month today since my last run. On the morning that my fellow Sydney Striders (and CoolRunners) raced at Lane Cove, I made my second comeback - this time with success ! I walked over to Queens Park and did two laps of the inside run, which is flat and grassy soft. No pings, no pain, so its all good. Thats the good news. The bad news is that although I have been working hard on the bike and walking for the past month, I was puffing out there like a 50-a-day smoker ! Just shows that a heap of aerobic excerise is hardly comparable to genuine weight baring (anaerobic ?) exercise. Now to just ease my way back into it, with out any setbacks and build up to maybe a 5km run next weekend. ~~~~~~~~~~ Joke of the Day ~~~~~~~~~~ One day an Irishman, who has been stranded on a desert island for over ten long years, sees an unusual speck on the horizon. "It's certainly not a ship," he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer, he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes a drop dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and scuba gear. She approaches the stunned man and says to him, "Tell me how long has it been since you've had a cigarette?" "Ten years," replies the Irishman. With that, she reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, "Faith and begorah! Is that good!" "And how long has it been since you've had a sip of good Irish Whiskey?" she asks him. Trembling, the castaway replies, "Ten years." She reaches over, unzips her right sleeve, pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, "Tis absolutely fantastic!" At this point she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit, looks at the man and asks, "And how long has it been since you've played around?" With tears in his eyes, the man falls to his knees and sobs, "Oh, Sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too." Mood: ---> :)
