Happy Friday Manatees! 

Stupid insomnia struck again last night, but thankfully not due to the squeaky bedsprings of my upstairs neighbour - I just couldn't sleep, so after feeling sorry for my self for a bit, I figured I might as well put on my running shoes and head out.  I'm so glad I did, even if it means I'm going to be absolutely WIRED on caffeine for the day.  It was gorgeous out!! 

Not too shabby!. So, when I have insomnia it is usually at night - when its dark out, so any pictures I might be inspired to take would be, you know, dark and would not show this type of beautiful scene

Okay, okay, okay, the piglet the piglet the piglet.

I also met some extraordinary athletes today and watched both a national and Asian record being broken (in weightlifting). She tried for the world but couldn't quite make it--she's 35kg and lifted 90kg for the Asian record!

Kingsley and I paced an arm-amputee in his first 50m free swim race ever (he was the only swimmer for that event in that category)--and holy shyte, he's a new swimmer (just a few months of training) but I was struggling to keep up with him in the first 25! There was also a blind swimmer who's really good--he doesn't know how to ride a bike but is willing to learn in any case at the Paralympics, in triathlon, it's a tandem for visually impaired athletes.

LOVE, love love that smile, Yanti!  Glad you are getting a change of pace, locale and activity, and how inspiring to help out such a great group of athletes!  Enjoy!

It was definitely dark at 2am when I was still awake, but by 5:30 the sun was up and after feeling sorry for myself, I figured enough was enough and just put on the shoes and headed outside.  I'm just glad I brought my phone with me for once!

Lol! He's bummed that he missed Sharktopus earlier this year, and I said no to also recording Two-Headed Shark Attack.  However, I said I'd watch this one with him as long as he provided me with a bottle of wine.  It's gonna be so bad it's... bad?

Thanks Judi - sometimes living in the city has it's perks! 

Don't be too envious though, that trail get absolutely insanely busy (and insanely frustrating) a lot of times, but mornings like this can also make all the aggravation worth it.

It's gonna be bad, no question, but usually they are so bad they are hilariously funny.  It helps if you go in knowing how terrible it's going to be.  Makes it much more tolerable.

3. I'm so pleased. I knew you'd be especially impressed ... medals blah blah blah times blah blah epic open water--so do you have a middle name? What is it? Oh, how do you spell that? And that's how we got to JBS I think we spent more time talking about that than swimming or Paralympics!
