Well this one will be short and quick......
if only those 1000 steps had been! 
This morning Kellie and I decided to do the "1000 steps". This is a track in our nearby hills, which is a replica of part of the Kokoda Trail. A beautiful and rugged landscape with the odd monument along the way, telling the legendary story of the Australians on the Kokoda Trail.... with their heaven sent "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels".
One would assume this climb is comprised of 1000 steps, but I have been told there are only approximately 700. Well I beg to differ.... perhaps next time I'll count each and every one of them, because my legs certainly felt them!
"Variety is the spice of life".... or so they say, so a change in workout sounds like a great plan.... right? A new place to see, a gorgeous sunny morning, munchkins at school..... freedom! 
If only I had eaten a proper breakfast rather than only scoffing my morning coffee.... and if only I had taken my water bottle rather than leaving it in the car.... perhaps I would have 'enjoyed' it a little more! Add in... if only the Country Fire Authority hadn't been conducting a controlled 'burn off' in the area.... maybe I would have puffed and huffed a little less, and cursed a little less too!
What goes up must come down.... right? Needless to say we had much more spring in our step on our retreat to the base. And may I add....
listening to the grunts and puffing of those passing us on their way to the top..... made me feel oh so much better! 
Ahhhh, a few stretches later, gallons of water and we were back in my car, radio blaring and off to hit the shops. A perfect start..... to a now gorgeous, clear and sunny day!
Happy Thursday Peeps!
Now..... where's my coffee and that couch.........
