I don't know about flying monkeys or any of that, but when I was little I was convinced that if one stuck an empty grape stem in water overnight that by AM one would have new grapes. Yeah, my parents were cruel and had me believing this until age 12 or so. 
I'll be hoping that the time until you can run passes quickly. Just think how awesome the weather will be when you are cleared! It will be crap here, but on your side of the world it should be perfect running weather!

I consider myself to have 1 and 3/4 legs

Steve, that does look awesome!!!! I have a cardboard Waka at home. Actually it's a box that the kids painted, but hey - it's a Waka to us. I just don't know whether I can commit time to doing an activity like that. With such a large family and a whole heap of other commitments, running is about the only thing that I could fit in! Looking at that video though I think that I wouldn't mind taking the kids to watch a team practice though!
I am being quite productive this morning.

Claire,
If you think that looks awesome, wait till you see open-ocean paddling, surfing open-ocean swells..I hear ya on the time/commitment thing. As with anything, to excel in paddling requires loads of time on the Waka and then some..some clubs however will have recreational-type setting for those with limited time. Anyway, just thought i'd suggest it. Paddling in Wa'a, Va'a or Waka, is a great way to keep your endurance as well as building upper body strength and a great way to blow of some steam and meet some great people. In addition, its a great way to immerse yourself in the tradition and culture of the Pacific Islands. |

Claire, when I feel like taking a day off, I think of you and your injury struggles. And I go run.
It's true.
Thanks.

Steve - its funny that you should say that because becoming immersed in the culture of the Pacific Islands is exactly what I need to do. My daughter is pregnant and the baby is half Samoan. It will be important for all of us to learn more about the Islander Cultures and ways so that this little baby will have a firm background and an understanding of his heritage. Maybe me and little bubba can sail our Waka together someday!
Jeff - where would I be without you lot to make me feel better! When you are looking for your next avatar picture, do me a favor and Google Image Search - Eckhart Tolle. Then I can be right for once. I had probably better not ask about the tongue master thing as I am a delicate flower and easily bruised. The philosopher in my avatar is called Claire and the 'Sloppy Frappe' is an obscure reference to my use of sex toys in the afternoons. Go figure. We must be separated at birth.

Anyone else believe in mythical flying creatures, have four legs, four children and a forty year old husband that is more fart than lek?

Mythical? Most mythical creatures are just that, except for Nessie and Flying Monkeys. Don't you dare suggest otherwise! |
