27th April 2011 - I have noted this date down as the first day since arriving in Rarotonga that I have felt cold! Granted it was whilst riding my scooter to work at 7.15am with just a polo shirt on but nonetheless the feeling of cold was rather new, and welcome I have to say. I even had goosebumps! I may have to think of wearing a second layer - now where did I pack those...?
Being the school holidays I have the luxury of having the mornings to my self again! Peace & quiet as I wind up for the day ahead. The kids even did me the favour of sleeping in until I was ready to go. Not having to rush around for the bathroom, reading my book whilst enjoying my morning coffee and toast...Ahh, it's the small things in life we cherish so much!
Janine and I have been for bike rides over the past two days. Having the in-laws here to mind the kids as we do so is a real luxury! Anyway, we rode over the infamous Hospital Hill, a really good workout as the thighs start screaming as you struggle up in first gear. Janine is training for her triathalon next weekend. She is doing the cycle leg, which is once around the Island. I'm just trying to keep in shape, and maybe prepare for the next mini-triathalon. I should be able to nail it and I was dissapointed I didn't at the first attempt - so next time I'll be prepared! Once off the bike I go for a short jog to get used to that awkward transition period when your legs feel like jelly and my calves tighten up. I'm very pleased to say I have finally lost weight around the midriff - the famous Fiebig belly! I think it's a combination of the heat, change of diet, and smaller portions.
