That part for the car is in good nick and is being installed tomorrow. I get the car back next week (coincides with payday, ha ha), in plenty of time for my next tri. Now I can drive it down to Taupo to support Sean at Ironman in March as well. Wicked! No more worrying about trying to flick it, or buying something else, or how I'm going to transport my bike and gear around to my triathlons. Awesome!!!
After this fantastic news, my day just got better. I did a lot more hands-on stuff at work placement and started to feel like part of the furniture, instead of just a plastic sofa cover. I even managed to prise myself off the couch after dinner and went for a very short ride (6.66 miles, ha ha) - it would have been further but it was starting to get dark and I'd left my bike lights at home, darn it. I love MapMyRide, MapMyRun and MapMyTri. Awesome sites for figuring out the distance of your runs, rides and the like.
Tomorrow it's off to the pool for a 1km swim. I am scheduled to run tomorrow night, but with a 6am start at the gym let's see how much energy I have and how awake I am at 2pm when we finish. I've finished the typing work I had to do for a friend so no more late nights slaving over a hot laptop for a while (aside from updating this blog and doing stuff for uni, obviously).
I've been reading a book by Dean Karnazes (the super endurance guy) called "50 Marathons - 50 Days". This guy did indeed run 50 Marathons in 50 Days. He went through five pairs of shoes, 18 pairs of socks and three lost toenails (gross) in the process, not to mention running 2092km in 50 days. What a legend. I grabbed it in a book sale for $2 months ago and have finally got around to reading it. I'm up to marathon number 9, so will review the book properly when I finish it and let you know what I think.
Bed calling - have a great day tomorrow all!
