While the Aussies in the homeland are celebrating Anzac Day, Donna and tried to get out and enjoy the weekend as much as possible. We started off Saturday with a 5k run (I played the role of spectator) and then moved into a healthy 17 mile bike ride. I look quite smashing in my new bike jersey. I suppose we should have gone for the traditional BBQ, but we opted for a festival of fondue. That fondue is good stuff!

And since the weather was just as good today, I headed out for a quick 10 mile bike ride before breakfast; always a good thing. Then it was time to play outside and for fun we decided to pull out the wading pool and let Addie dog splash around. This turned out to be most amusing. I think she was quite perplexed by the fact that she could feel the ground under her feet, but couldn’t see it. She decided to dig through the water to see if she could strike dirt. When that failed she stuck her head under water to see if she could see the source of the confusion. Simply put, Addie in water is very funny.

I’ve been looking for a Corona bike jersey and although I didn’t quite come up with that, I did make mention of a cool jersey for South Australia – my part of the world. I suppose I spoke quite fondly of the jersey and low and behold it shows up in the mail for me. And holy crap it’s cool! Very colorful and form fitting.

To try it out, Donna and I went for a 17 mile bike ride. I had a great time, but damn the sun must have been out full blast because now I have nice rosy arms. I guess I should be more conscious of putting sunblock on my arms before going out.

Not going to stop me from going out tomorrow though!

The new running season has begun! Donna and I set off early this morning so she could get started on her first 5k of the year. Her time is getting faster and I always find these events pretty amusing. There is a lot of camaraderie among the participants and even the little kids get out there and run.

Great weather for it too.
