28 Days gone 28 Days still remain

Not much to say, basically a nothing post just to fill in time until something comes on the Tele.

ANZAC Day 2006, my 9th since enlisting in the Army. Most years I have either marched through the city or done a smaller parade at a park somewhere however today I was not involved with anything. In fact I helped out the Army catering staff prepare the Gunfire Breakfast after the Dawn service.

I never miss a Dawn Service, Obviously! however a lot of people were very suprised the fact that my wife attended also. They thought I had dragged her along which was not the case. Cass very rarely misses a ceremony which I think is great and very respectful. This year being 36 weeks pregnant I would have understood if she wasn't up to it but it didn't deter her at all.

The morning started very early for me, up at 3 am to get to work around 4 am. The turn out was good which made for a very long and tedious morning after everyone left. The morning for me didn't finish until 11am which included around 2 hrs of washing pots and pans. Packing up was pretty exhausting, there is no way could ever do a job like that, so much preparation and behind the scenes action that people rarely see. Cooks, chefs or whatever, do not get enough credit for their work.

One last thing before I get back to the exercise bit, my biggest and scariest thing to happen to me is exactly 28 days away. That is if they could read textbooks and knew how long they should remain baking for :) Our baby is due on the 23 May, it has come so fast, Im not sure if I am up to it, I know nothing, well I have done as much reading and ante natal classes that one is able to digest so hopefully something has sunk in. In saying this I do hope that he/she comes early, that way he/she can see their Dad..... hehe run at Warwick ( slowly I will add ) and meet all the wonderful people that he/she will hopefully see on a regular basis when their dad is fully fit ;)

Ok back to the Training,

Since Saturday no training has taken place, I have my appointment with the physio tomorrow afternoon. It's crazy but im actually looking forward to going, I find out what I can do for the week. Hopefully it is a little more so I don't run out of sessions before the next appt.

Today is 28 days since I stopped the session that almost brought me to tears, and I must say that the pegs are the best they have felt in a while. It is a shame that things like this happen, I was running well and looking forward to the Defence Force Champs this weekend at the Brisbane Marathon.

Now that I am unable to do this I have agreed to help out, although not in the thick of the action I have been asked to help in the recording for the Champs so it still will be a good morning.

Keep smiling, may see you all on Sunday, Good luck to those competing
