Had a great weekend, amazing what you are finding, nearly something every day!!! I have also brought back some fresh from up north. Got some fresh herbs,celery from kerolis to. Kerolis got a cool property we could do the raw thing at, but her hubby has a gun...I won't give any details, but basically it isn't vegan!!!

so great to see everyone embracing each day and getting the best out of it!!

i had the best day yesterday too...going to the melb food night...meeting lots new ppl.

found out there is an organic shop just a few blocks down from where i live, and here i'd been going to one a few suburbs over!! wow! haha...now there is at least 3 i know close by...so many choices! heehee...love it. so, yesterday was the best day ever, i found out where i can get more food from!! 

Hey Fpye...yes am recovering so quickly...thank you
I do have the running bug...i visualise myself running all the time...when i am out driving i look at the road and see myself running,i just love it!

animal communication...have had 2 experiences in the last 4 days...i am a little shy about telling you but i will..cos its very new to me....
on saturday sitting in the car waiting for hubby at the fuel station...with my sore ankle..and i looked over and a sick looking 'older' man,had a beautiful little doggie on a leash...and was roughly jerking him around,and it had to be hurting him....and i heard the dog say"one day...you are going to need me...."and that was it,it was as clear as day...
then the day after...my cat who i have never ever communicated with...was on the floor eyes tightly shut..and i came and sat next to him...he said.." i know you are there,but please leave me alone".....
now i am talking to him all the time and looking deeply into his eyes...and he is looking at me oddly and saying"how come you took so long to talk to me"....looking a little distrustful,but i hope to win him over...

yeh,its is awesome...makes me feel really excited and honored....once the channels start to clear,i am truly free to be myself,no matter what!!

sounds like a fine eating day...yum persimmons..mmmm

well done babe

My days have been so saturated with the best experiences ever that I haven't been in to post.

Was expecting to go under 6 hrs in my 45km mountain race on Saturday and thought I was being very optimistic at hoping to go under 5 hrs 30 mins.
I came in at 5 hrs 6 mins!!! I'm still supremely amazed!
During the race I ate 8 organic cavendish bananas, drank enough water that I never felt dry and filled my camelbak with 1.5litres of water blended with 20 organic medjool dates. That stuff was magic during the race. A true electrolyte drink which took minutes to give me a boost. I also drank about 800mls of smoothie (celery blended with a little amount of water). I believe this is why I didn't get the usual cramping soon after the 30km mark which I've had in every other ultra race.
I ran without my watch (I wanted run to run by how I felt...in touch with my body...running smart...and running with my heart). I had no shortage of positive inspiration to draw from. Was amazed at the number of people that know me as "Thrax" from the forums on www.coolrunning.com.au
I was hearing ultra athletes who perform way better than me telling me how they got great results trying some of my previously posted suggestions for race nutrition. Flattering. Imagine if they went 811rv!

I ate A LOT of food after the race (as much fruit as I cared for), had a massage highlighting my tight calf and glutes, drove back to Sydney, quick night swim at Coogee Beach (my equivalent of a radox bath) ate very light in the evening allowing for optimal recovery during my slept/rest of 13 hours on Sat night.

Got great inspiration for future directions from Lea (Thx!). Won't post the details now...Ohhh, the suspense!

The best day ever (as always) rolled over into today:
This morning I ran 2 soft sand laps of Coogee Beach this morning, swam 2 laps in lovely choppy conditions no water sucked down the throat is always a bonus! Followed that by 2 more soft sand laps, the last lap being a solid run getting the heart rate pretty high. Love the fast recovery!
Lunch time I went for a run for 1 hr 15 mins including a climb up Mount Ainslie!!! I amazed myself. I'd set out for a gentle recovery run but felt so good that I ran faster and stronger than I normally do! Did I mention how much I love the fast recovery of this lifestyle

Oh and I forgot to post...my waking/resting heart rate the morning after the race (toward the end of my 13 hr rest) was...
drumroll please...35 beats per minute! I even double checked it.

And the best day ever factor was magnified as a previous race winner of the 45km 6 foot track race (and also a good mate) told me I wouldn't be running for a few days and I'd be really sore. I said expected to be back running straight away and I'd keep him posted
