The last few days of training have been pretty tough. My body was definitely feeling the worse-for-wear after three consecutive training sessions (2.5-3hrs each). I had hoped to get to Wednesday afternoon before I had a session off but after yesterday's morning session I was completely nackered. I retired to bed for the rest of the day.

For those ...

Hello All,I've got nine days of work left before an indefinite period of travel. Though I've spent the best part of the last ten years living overseas I'm actually feeling quiet apprehensive (but also excited) about this trip. In the past I've always had a safety net - a job and 'home' to go back to but now I will have no fixed address or return date. Just my my pack and a list of things I want to see and do. It's liberating but I'm not sure if my structured ex...
