My Life is Brilliant

bridge to brisbane ...

i will be honest ... i am still tired after running in the 12km bridge to brisbane fun run on sunday morning! check out the crowd .... 30 000 people! it was pretty wikid ... such a cool thing to be apart of - even tho all the way up and then down the bridge i was totally dodging people .... i guess you have to expect that! I was happy with the run ... i couldn't have run any faster, i was totally spent by the end of it! luckily i paced off this girl and that took my mind off things for a while ... and she was doing a pretty good pace, so that pushed me along a bit! there is a 10km run coming up in Sept so i think i might look at doing that ... it was a good feeling to finish, and it certainly makes you train with purpose having events to look forward to! then i can start building up to some longer ones!

my legs are pretty stiff ... so i am going have a good stretch after i finish this post! then go to bed ... and try and wake up "refreshed" tomorrow ... as i have been draggin myself around today!

I guess yesterday thru a spanner in the works with Yani being rushed to the vet. Our golden retreiver didn't seem herself ... and i happen to notice she had blood in her eye ... after spending about 2 hours at the vet, then taking her for a scan .... they have confirmed she has an immunity disease which is attacking her blood. I am so thankful i picked it up ... as it would have been fatal! we have to manage it for now with medication ... she has another blood test on friday ... it may take 6 - 8 mths for her to get on top of it. Poor dear ... i feel so bad for her - she is such a lovely dog!

i have just finished doing invites for gianna's mermaid party in 2 weeks time ... its going to be so cute! she is super excited .... and even more special is that my parents will be here! i am so looking forward to it!

This weeks Deck of Me Challenge (#31) is No Regrets ....

i used a windsurfining photo for this card, as when we were younger we were competitive windsurfers ... our dream was to race, especially in maui, hawaii! when we moved to australia we were still going to do it .. .then gary sort of fell into the business we have now ... its a long story, but the short end is ... we decided not to keep travelling with it, and grew the business. A tiny part of me wonders just how far i could have gone, and how much fun it would have been ... but 99% of me is so SUPER glad we did stay here as we have a fabulous lifestyle which we wouldn't have if we hadn't had made the decision! so ... there are No Regrets for me! i love my life!
