Shooting Star

While I was waiting for the train this morning I saw a shooting star.  I think I've only see one or two others in my whole lifetime.  It was awesome!  That alone is a reason for getting out of bed.

I spent some time at the central library before RPM today.  Its an old haunt that I used to frequent weekly, but since I moved to the Wairarapa a lot less.  This odd thing (or at least I think it is odd) occurs.  You have to wait outside locked gates before 9.30, and then these "burly" guards let you in at exactly 9.30.  This means you get to que with an ecelective group of people: old aged pensioners, students, people who look like they live on the street, and last but not least: people who look like they are probably on parole.  It was a good chance to flick through some cycling magazines for inspiration.  Although they feature women, they tend to be very male centric - much like the coverage of the Tour de France.

From this I concluded its better to read before RPM than do a heavy weights session!  Had a close encounter with KC in the changing room.  I so try to avoid those, if possible. Simply because they are "awkward" in more ways than one.  Otherwise a good RPM session for the beginning of the week (for me re exercise), and considering I spent most of yesterday in bed. (I've resolved not to do that for the rest of the week)

Had lunch with KM.  She volunteered (with C and maybe their boys) to be part of the HQ Taupo support team.  Its locked into her I-phone.  I'm rapt about that. Sweet.  It will be cool to have KM and her whanau there.   KM's been part of the journey before I knew it was the journey so that's why I am rapt.  Plus, it will make for an awesome "after" party.  Sooooooo looking forward to that!!!

I swam for an hour or so at Extreme or whatever it is called pool in Upper Hutt.  I needed a swim and so it was good for that, but it wasn't Huia.  Spent some time in the steam room, but the contacts started to fog over!  I much prefer Huia, so will wait until the maintenance is completed there before I go for a swim again - in a week or so, so not long.

There were quite a few army guys from Trentham at the pool - I know this because there uniforms were in the pool lockers.  This seemed to coincide well with the offical commencement of my self imposed Bootcamp.  Bit of an easy day for Bootcamp today (in terms of hours, not the RPM session:-)) but will accelerate as the week goes on.  But Bootcamp has commenced~!
