So we are in Gooddiwindi now. My first evening here and we went Yabby hunting(crawfish)! We put a net in and caught 200+ yabbies. We sorted them and will eat the big ones tomorrow night. The little ones are bait for fishing this evening! could my run of host get any better?!?!? Peter is my host along with his wife Penni. Their daughter Kate is 24 and was on the Rotary youth exchange a few years back. She and her boyfriend Verge cooked us a lamb roast and veggies last night, Wonderful! Some how I got talked into going to Boot Camp this morning with Pete. Boot camp is always in a new spot around Gundy. We were up at 4:30 and headed out. Boot camp consisted of an hour of extreme conditioning. Whew, I haven't worked out in over 6 months like this, horrible pain but I feel so good now. We started with a warm up jog, 1/4 mile. Then it was 12 pushups, 5 updowns, 9 clap pushups, 5 updowns, 6 chest slap pushups, 5 updowns, 3 fingertip pushups, 5 updowns, then a 1/4 mile job. Now do that 3 bloody times!!! In hiking boots because I don't have shoes, whew! Then we ran down to a roat ramp and spent 30 mintues doing jog down, sprint up, with bench dips and crunches in between, SFA! Then a "cool down" jog back to the park for stretches. I'll feel this tomorrow. I'm going back on Friday to do a canoe race for boot camp. The best time around the island gets fewer workouts on shore. I better be on my game!
Pete and I visited a lot of his building projects this morning now we are going fishing!
That's all for now. Miss all of you.....but not enough to come home:)
