Happy Easter
I have just noticed I haven't blogged since last Wednesday so I figure that now I have a spare moment I would catch up.
The Easter weekend has been fairly busy but that is usual. My CFA brigade and a neighboring brigade go tin rattling for the Royal children's Hospital Good Friday appeal on a intersection in Berwick every Good Friday. I have been doing this for the past five years and it is always a fun time. We usually pack up at around 2 o'clock to meet with some other CFA brigades. Then in a convoy of 7 vehicles we drove to the Telstra Dome for the money to be counted, have a feed and a few beers afterwards.
Narre Warren and Berwick fire brigades raised $7399 on Friday. Being $1 short of $7400 was a little annoying but it was good for a few laughs during the evening.
On Saturday I had to work but managed a 7.7km in 45 minutes on the treadmill. While in the gym I meet the guy who assessed my fitness before I could use the facilities. He got me on the scales and found that in 12 months I have lost 10 kilos and 11% body fat! He was a little excited about the body fat scale and encouraged me to keep up the good work. Hearing the encouragement certaintly put a spring in my step for the rest of the night.
I worked again on Sunday and am presently at work now on Easter Monday.
Oscar and I run our 11.6km course this morning in 0:58:18 and boy was it cold. I may have to look at some Skins apparel if I'm going to keep up this early morning, winter running.

Good job!
Winter running? lol Get Oscar a matching outfit. :P
Well done on the fund raising SD.
Great news on the body fat. Is Oscar looking a little more toned as well ;-)
I can highly recommend the Skins. I haven't been through a winter with mine yet, though found them fantastic for recovery purposes through summer.
Congrats on the missing weight and lower fat count. Just keep doing what you're doing, that's the trick.
Skins are simply brilliant - I don't run in em but I looooove em for recovery.
Yes, keep up the good work!
And please rebel your secrets, I can't loose even a pound...
wow I neglect your blog for a week and you run 20.8km! Well done! And well done Oscar too on his little Staffy legs. Looking forward to hearing about your first 'official' half - you will blitz it I am sure :)
