From 'The Consolations of Philosophy' by Alain de Botton

We find that the requirements of our bodily nature are few indeed, no more than is necessary to banish pain, and also to spread out many pleasures for ourselves. Nature does not periodically seek anything more gratifying than this, not complaining if there are no golden images of youths about the house who are holding flaming torches in their right hands to illuminate banquets that go on long into the night. What does it matter if the hall doesn't sparkle with silver and gleam with gold, and no carved and gilded rafters ring to the music of the lute? Nature doesn't miss these luxuries when people can recline in company on the soft grass by a running stream under the branches of a tall tree and refresh their bodies pleasurably at small expense. Better still if the weather smiles on them, and the season of the year stipples the green grass with flowers.

Morning

Am fully back into training now. Had boxing class this morning, gosh it was hot. Apparently it was the hottest August morning in about 100 years. Bloody felt like it too.

Went on a walk from the Communications tower at Forresters Beach to the Entrance a few weekends ago.

Going camping not this weekend but next.

I haven't posted for a while

So what's being going on....I started Altitude Training at Fox Studios, it's great! I really enjoy it.

I am back on the treadmill and did 45 minutes last night on a 9 incline at 3.5km per hour.

Was going to do yoga today, but think I might go for a walk instead.

What has everyone else been up to?

I'm back

Well the Gold Coast was lovely, and it is so nice to be in a female friendly nurturing environment.

Back in training tonight and I have Boot Camp tomorrow.
