Brrr.... turn on the heat!

Back to work today.... Boo Hoo. On the bright side it is a short week :-) The plan was to swim today.... but I have obviously gone soft while recovering because I could not bring myself to go in this cold. The pool is heated, but outdoor so in winter it takes a hardy soul to get in. Now I know it is still Autum but as I said I have gone soft! So I headed to the gym and did my weights and then a spin class. The leg is feeling fine so I will give it a test tommorow and if I get pain I will stop.

Anzac day tommorow..... time to stop and reflect on the sacrafices made by the diggers. No one in my family went to war thankfully, but I have a real spot in my heart for those who did. Sometimes the Anzacs seem to be portrayed as fearless and have a ledgend status..... but I always think how absolutely shit scared those young men would have been. I have lots of veterans as clients through work and the they have endured a life mared by the taumas they experienced on the front. Whatever side I think violence and war is abhorrent and it is these young guys (on all sides) and their families who suffer the consequences. So tomorrow we should all stop and remember at least for a minute.
