I tried Soursop for the first time last week.
WOW! .. the flavour was so intense! .. it was not so easy to chew either!
Paul (the honey man) brought some Soursop to the West End market so I could taste it! Because of the intense flavour Paul recommended blending it with water and making a drink with it!
Thank you Paul .. that is exactly what I will do ;)
May 2012
I crashed a couple of times during this month. I travelled to Sydney and was under carbed. I ended UP eating two cooked meals whilst I was out in the evening with Buggie. The usual pattern of eat one cooked meal and felt unsatisfied occurred .. therefore I wanted to eat another cooked meal straight after.
I arrived in Sydney and travelled to the Organic store that I am familiar with @ Bondi Junction. To my dismay the shop had closed down. I ended UP getting a bag of Grapes from Woolworths but they did not taste so good .. I bought some Bananas to .. the ones that looked the most ripe .. they weren’t! .. :(
As I result I went out into the evening and I was under carbed and hungry. It was cold to in Sydney but I feel it was due to the lack of ripe / tasty fruit that caused me to eat a cooked meal. I still face these kind of challenges when I am out of my daily routine. However I am very happy with my efforts for May 2012. I have not managed a 100% month for sometime now but my raw percentage is still very high.
Had a running setback toward the end of this month. My left foot developed swelling on the top of the foot behind the toes. I am putting this down to some speed work that I did. I am gutted about this setback. I have not ran for 2 weeks now and I am now unlikely to run @ the Gold Coast Marathon where I was hoping to repeat my Boston Marathon qualifying time. Oh well .. maybe next time ;)
Games require skill. Running requires endurance, character, pride, physical strength, and mental toughness. Running is a test, not a game.
A test of faith, belief, will, and trust in one’s self. So hardcore that it needs a category all to itself to define the pain. When game players criticize, it’s because they aren’t willing to understand, not because they’re stronger.
Running is more than a sport; it’s a lifestyle. If you have to ask us why we run, you’ll never understand, so just accept.

Mandarins are here again! .. breakfast anyone? .. :)
I just ate lots of HUGE Pinks Mammoth!
You would think that this variety (because of their BIG size) would have heaps of seeds but they don’t! .. they have much less seeds than other varieties of Custard Apple.
Joined my local ‘Fitness First’ yesterday.
I am not bothered about using the gym equipment. I just got a month by month membership so I can use the Sauna / Steam during the Winter moons. Some of the classes look OK though i.e. the Yoga and Body & Mind class .. I may give them a try!
This morning I shared some young drinking Coconuts with ultra running legend Cassie Smith today ..
It was lovely to catch UP with Cassie and have a natter about running. I was meeting UP with Cassie to pass on a personally signed copy of the Pat Farmer - Pole to Pole book which I got from the recent talk that Pat held here in Brisbane.
Cassie was meant to be at the evening talk but was unable to make it on the night so I gave Cassie my copy which I had signed for her. Enjoy the book Cassie ;)
Fruit makes me skip .. \:D/
