Blackwater, Rotation 7 of 10, Day 4 of 11...

Not a lot happening to blog about.

I haven't run since November 30th - when I did 7.06km in 41:51 at 5:55/km pace. I think I forgot to note that one here. I don't remember much about it, but the figures look like it was another Easy run.

I'm fighting off another cold. Must be the dodgy air-conditioning here on site or back in my room at the camp. So no chance to run recently. Hopefully I can shake it off before the Christmas break. I fly out of here next Thursday (15th).

It's getting very hot up here during the day, and stays hot until the sun goes down, except for when there's a tropical rainstorm. They are intense!

I'm still trying to finish here by Christmas, but everyone else is dragging their heels on making the decision - so I'll probably have to come back in January.

I just want to get back home now. Get back into normal home life with the girls. And start my new role back in the Sydney office. I have my doubts as to whether it's going to challenge and interest me - but I think I should give it a go for a few months and then make a decision.

I had a mad idea to do some press-ups in my room last night. I think watching The Shawshank Redemption on cable TV last night made me think like I was in prison - and what else to do in prison but... press-ups, chin-ups. Feeling a bit sore across the chest today. I'll see whether that routine continues.
