This morning I took two other students and did a cardio/weight lifting workout. Great workout---cardio for 1 min and weights for 2----felt great!! And plus theres air conditioning in the gym! Went back and skyped with Lindsey--I got to see her this time and it was very refreshing! I know why you are my best friend--you make everything better when I talk you--thanks for being who you are!!!
After skyping, I made some eggs and put more plans together for Spring Break---it looks like now I am going to Figi and then Ayers Rock--ahhhhh I am so excited!! Then it was off to the beach---beautifully hot, sunny, and no clouds--perfect beach weather---got to go!!!!
I made it out in the ocean today. The waves were fairly small and manageable so I ventured out to my waist---got a few mouths of saltwater but I was very proud at how far I had gone out. The water felt refreshing, but not too cold. I jumped over many waves, but had to keep a hand on my top---the waves were still very powerful! I retreated back to the shoreline where I felt more safe and sat just where small waves washed over calmly. It was indeed a gorgeous day---not too hot, cool breeze, and warm ocean current!
I went back to wash the sand out of my bathing suit---I dont think it was possible this time--even after washing it--I still felt sand!
It was on to the Dog Races with Dave Arthur (Sports Mgt Prof) in Lismore. We stopped at Subway for Buy One Get One night and then went to the races. This was a large track with a little brightly orange neon colored bunny which the dogs chased around 1-1.5x's around the track while the spectators put bets on which dog they should pick.
I placed two bets on two races, won one with a profit of AUS$2.30 and lost AUS$4 on the second race---only losing AUS$ .80---not too shabby. There were a total of ten races with eight dogs in each heat. Each dog wore a wire guard on its face (much like a muzzle) which I thought was interesting but I guess was used so the dogs couldn't nip at each other during a race. The students put their money together and placed some bets. They won a total of 3 and lost I believe 6, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The races ended around 10PM and then we drove home---what a packed day and I was surely exhausted! Time for bed!
