Joys....

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO COMPETED YESTERDAY!!!

From the photos I have seen you all looked incredible and had a ball and I am jealous!!!!

Yesterday I was Nana for the day...

I spent the whole day looking after Jofus Nofus and Miss Lily. I don't get a lot of chances to do this due to my work, their parents work, my training and mostly because I do like to step back and let my parents enjoy their Great Grandkids as often as they can while they can.
But yesterday it as my turn and I had a ball! For a start Joseph and I have the same taste in movies so we watched Toy story and Madagascar 2. We played tennis is the loosest sense of the word, we did use two bats/racquets and a ball was sort of involved, when ever Miss Lils didn't grab it and toddle off... Yes Grandkids bring joy without a price....

Today was a fabulous riding day and that's just what we did. We rode out to Sanford for a great chicken salad and a beer in the sunshine watching the other bikes come through town...
It was hard to even think about heading home as it was just a wonderful spot in the sun, good food, great bikes... The only good thing about heading home was getting back on the bikes..

A slow and cruisy ride back through Dayboro with a stop for a coffee and a cake before another quick stop by the dam at Petrie for these photos..
Finally we wandered home and then I headed down to the gym for a quick 30 mins of HIIT Cardio...
I have decided that today was my last off season day and tomorrow I am starting my countdown to the 17th of October!!!!!
I am so looking forward to the focus and counting down the tasks to be completed... Bling Mister has his design and now I just have to choose a fabric and get Lyn to make the suit... I'm almost sure I have the music I want for my routine... Now it's just time to tighten up the diet and get back into cardio... YAY!
