One: I ran a quarter marathon! I'm so happy about this. I tore a muscle in my calf a few weeks back but I went to the Osteo clinic at Unitec as soon as I could and Naomi was able to work some magic on me to get me to the start line of the quarter. Not only did I manage to finish, I was pretty close to the time I expected to run before the muscle tear. I have a few other niggles and pains now but I'm confident that between Naomi and the exercises she gives me I will be a well oiled machine in no time!
Two: Seven weeks 'til Christmas - eep! I still can't quite get used to a summer Christmas and it's so easy for me to forget all about it until December. Back in the old country I would have finished my Christmas shopping in September and that's what I should be doing again if I want things to arrive on time. I'm going into full Christmas planning mode this weekend!
Three: My husband is the love of my life and I'm so proud of him right now. He has a very full plate and he's working so hard but I never see any of his current stressors get to him. He is my inspiration.
Four: My mum's 70th birthday is next week and I have sent her a nice gift that I hope she likes. I really like it and I'm considering getting the same thing for myself!
Five: My nephew and his fiancée had a son. I'm so happy for them as I think it's something that they've wanted for a little while. And it's very fitting that the first boy in the family has had the first boy :)
