HI all,
Saturday 6km 42 minutes , 124/155
This is my second run since the marathon. It was such a nice day, I was feeling fat and a bit of a sloth so I just went out and ran for 6km.
Mum and Dad are down for a few days. She has joined the Ashmore Police Citizen's Gym up in QLD and has a personal trainer to help her get the weight off and to learn how to use gym equipment. They are putting a gym in her apartment block - it is an older block keeping up with the Joneses.
I have never seen Mum exercise except for some walking over the last few years. Anyway she said the personal trainer was a bit put out by having someone so old but Mum has continued and has a lot more confidence.. Dad is often nearby in a cafe having a cuppa and reading the paper.
Anyway last night I rang her and she was having a drink with my brother Matt at the Shooter's Bar in the Menzies. She went out to lunch with some old friends and one had a stroke at the dinner table so the rest of them had another bottle of wine and went to the hospital to see how he was.
( I just went out to check on Ali - she has gone for a run. She came down the street and I asked her how far had she run and she said 4.5km in 28 minutes with a big smile on her face. I asked her why that far and she said "because I can" - she is a real Buddhist I think.)
Anyway back to Mum last night when I was talking to her she said she just had an altercation with a young guy with glazed eyes in the toilets in the Menzies. She said to the guy "you are scaring the girls here and perhaps you should go. " He did not move so Mum said "I think your Mum would not approve of what you are doing" and he finally turned and left.
cheers Plu
