Juggling

It seems the busier I am, the more organised I become. 

The new job involves more travel every day and more hours.  In return, I get to play with nice people all day, do interesting stuff and be challenged.  Sometimes I have come home a bit brain fried but it is really good - so happy little vegemites make time to go out running and the whole happiness thing compounds itself - so I am finding myself in a really good, if not challenged, and busy space at the moment.

Last week I managed my four runs clocking up a massive (ahem) 30km of running, but was happy with that, and hoping to gradually ramp up the distance each week - I just love how it makes me feel (usually afterwards) and my cheeks are glowing this morning after an early morning run with the HC. 

My knowledge of Australian politics has stepped up a notch with The Liddells spending Saturday night at the Labour Club in Randwick.  I just hung out with my nerdy friends and watched the goings on.  Actually, there was free drink and so we didn't talk much about Politics, which was ok.  Carmen gave me a quick "Politics 101" before we left (ie Julia is Labour, Tony is Liberal) and so armed with that depth of knowledge, I felt comfortable about stepping right into the middle of it.  The only thing I can say about the whole night was:

1.  Peter Garrett is a very tall man
2.  It's "US Forces GIVE the nod"  not "US Forces GET the nod"
3.  When asked to choose over Alien vs Predator, Peter Garrett chose Alien (yes we asked the hard hitting questions).

So, this weekend the plan is Woodford to Glenbrook to Woodford, 40km, that is, if Mr T can organise his lazy bones to get up here.  If left to my own devices I might be tempted to cut that a wee bit short.

But, all in all, life is good, very good indeed.
