off work again today

the cold has returned... gonna nail it good n proper this time. off work at da mo... tomorrow as well.  weight is now at 86.2kgs with 15% bodyfat... time to slowly reduce that for the summer.  will be spring cleaning over the next 3 months too

Battling a cold

had yesterday off work... about to head into work today.... still not 100% but looks like i've beaten the illness... just the aftermath to deal with now..... gonna eat lots too... gr8 excuse for it haha. Great time at Parakai the other day.... will definately be going there again.  As a result of my cold i'm now tipping the scales at over 86kgs.... as i plan to eat lots today as well to combat any complications occuring this weight could go even higher.  My highest ever weight is just over 87kgs

Another Parakai outing tonite

This will be my third hot pools outing this month.  A few of us are going... me, Andrea, Stipe, Eva and Boris... that makes 5 of us so can go in one car... will it be mine? :P haha Anyway working soon... been doing different runs as of late... changing around but still no brand new run for me.  The last time i was on a brand new run was in Jan when i started 53.  I did 53 again yday and looks like i'm on it today too.  However in the next few weeks i could be starting 32.  This is a fullblooded pakuranga run... it doesn't get anymore pakuranga than this.  I've heard different stories about this run... some say it one of the harshest runs in our area (size, hills, mail etc)... others say its real easy if you do it certain ways.  it still stands that in terms of size the 3 runs that take the longest are 31, 32 and 54 in our area.  PS i know that recently someone got fired by nzpost due to him making dodgy remarks about a coworker etc etc on a blog...

Mood changes.... issues

Firstly i had another great outing to Parakai last sat nite.  A week later i hung out at skots place with Eva, Wazza, Boris, Skot and David.  Fish n chips at da start... alcohol start flowing and at da start was good to hang around with moderately drunk ppl who in general can handle me better than sober ppl.  Unfortunately once Wazza went from moderately drunk to VERY drunk his mood changed from happy to angry and that was the cue to me to head of home.  it sorta all fell to bits in the space of 5 minutes... me and David (neither of us drank alcohol) saw it all unravelling.  I now have a renewed hatred for "Satans blood" (what i used to call alcohol back in the day) and whilst quite as against it as what i was before 2004 i certainly don't see it as a fun thing anymore (my mates were more fun when they drank it haha).  Everyone else was good.... Wazza was the only one who got aggro.  I'm good mates with Wazza normally so can see how alcohol is responsi...

Storm abrewing

Hey i ended up going to Parakai last sat nite.  Had a great time.  Looks like we are heading there tomorrow nite too.... me, Andrea, Stipe and Eva so far... this could change of course.  Raining at da mo... expected to be wet 2morro but hopefully as its started now I mite not get too wet when i actually get out on da bike... about 14 hours until i start delivering the mail.... but they did say that a lot of rain is gonna fall... will keep u updated of course :).  I've had a couple of great kitesurf sessions lately... will updating my kiting blog very very soon... like now :P

Last month of winter

yep spring is in the air... thats despite it being a wet start to august so far.  I've been on run 23 at work but have been experimenting a bit with a few things.... like speed.  Going much slower than the usual flat out i go on that run... but been going much faster inside sorting.... this is what i'm after... a more relaxed approach to my job.  mind you the wet conditions aren't very conducive to racing it outside anyway so nature has forced my hand a bit lol.  Today is meant to be no exception with rain expected later on and a strong northerly. This means that i could be kiting after work despite other things planned... it all depends on several factors... how long i'm at work for (last saturday was a classic example of this) the weather... namely if its windy, or rainy... or both who txts me before i finish work Tonite i need to choose 1 of 3 different outings Parakai at 4pm with Andrew Footy evening at gym with Devon Housewarming party with Eva The ...
