Mr. Bean almost killed me!

LOL I have to tell the story of how I got the giggles on the treadmill. Which - by the way - I do not recommend.

I jumped on the treadmill and ran 7.2km. About the half hour mark I started to get tired, and this was the point where Johnny English in the movie gets drugged and has to do whatever people tell him to. There was something about seeing a grown man put on lipstick and then wave his hands in the air, moving them side to side that was just HILARIOUS.

I couldn't stop giggling and it was quite embarrassing for me and I expect unnerving for everyone around me. They must have been watching the sports channel or the news because if they were seeing what I was seeing we'd be a giggling choir.

Seriously, have you seen that movie? You need to watch it. If you don't laugh, jump on a treadmill and then watch it.

Byebye Bay

It's my last day at home before I head up to Auckland. I am sad to go, home is lovely. This summer has been awesome. I went Kayaking yesterday! Stoked.

But I'm looking forward to seeing my favourite Auckland people and places.

Went for a run in the heat at noon today. It was very warm, I must say. Very warm indeed.

Planning an evening bike to the beach tonight. =)

Pink Polish and Peach Toes

No one can see your toenails when you wear running shoes.

But I know they are looking pretty.

And that's what counts.

Blueberries for Breakfast

Title has no relevance to anything - other than - blueberries for breakfast are awesome!!

Stayed at the lovely Anna's house in Rotorua last night, and this morning was able to go exploring about the place. Ended up getting to run through the Redwoods!!

Running in a forest somehow seems easier. Maybe the abundance of trees make it easier to breathe. Maybe  all the leaves on the path make for much softer landing on the 'ol feet.

Whatever it is - forests are lovely to run in. The change of scenery did me good.

Running for bikes and avocados

Awesome run this morning. (Slash actually left at 12 noon - NOT the best idea. Too hot!)

Was almost finished my run when I spotted my lovely neighbor gardening. She's the best!!
She gave me heaps of avocados to take home (just had avocado on toast for lunch), some cucumbers and kamo kamo. Neighbours are awesome.

But the best part was she said I can borrow her bike whenever I want! I'm now imagining epic days of cycling down to the beach for swims. It's going to happen. Probably. Maybe. Yes. It. Will.
