I just now prepared quite a lengthy piece about the retreat I went on today with the Catholic Lawyers' Association. It's a good one, but after I posted it I began to have misgivings that it might get me and other people into hot water. I've reverted it to draft and will sleep on it before I share it.
In other news, I've found a good route to run home on after work. It's about 10kms along the Capital City Trail. It needs some careful planning in terms of what I carry and what I leave at the office for the next day (must. not. forget. housekeys.) but it makes for a really good end of the day.
Yesterday I went a bit longer and cranked out 15 kilometres along a different stretch of the same trail. It feels good to be running regularly again. The weather's on the turn here, which helps: it's not bitterly cold during the day or even at night and so running isn't a penance. Today was in the mid-20s and so after the retreat I mentioned before I headed down to St Kilda for some beach time. It was warmer than the clouds make it look. Nobody was staying long in the water however and so I gave swimming a miss. I contented myself with lying on the sand and reading The Benedict Option.
By 5pm a cool change was clearing arriving and I called it a day. The Empress Hotel had been advertising a new imported IPA they've obtained and so I stopped on the way home to try some (very good!).
I had no especial plans for the evening save for blogging and writing a quick letter to the girls and so I followed it up with a white wine and some fried eggplant which was much more filling than I expected it to be.
I came back to my digs and set to writing. I still wanted a bit more in the fitness line and so I did a barre workout on Youtube. I think I've mentioned before that barre is a perfect match for running and I used to do it somewhat regularly. I found I was dreadfully stiff now however!
One thing came unbidden into my mind that made me mad, however. I remembered a certain A-hole boss I once had boasting about how, when his wife was doing a home pilates workout, he'd make a point of slapping her about the head with his penis. No, I didn't call him out. I needed the job too badly. I don't know what's sadder. Discovering you have a price or that the price is remarkably low.
Not much more to add for the day. It's been another good and satisfying weekend; all that remains for me is to make tomorrow's dinner, pack my bag and do the going to bed things.
How's your weekend been?
