On a positive note, the latest page I put on the site is a video of Randy Pausch.
He was a lecturer in the US who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and his last lecture to his students and collegues was filmed.
He discusses in an upbeat and positive way how we can live our life and fulfill or dreams. A very good watch.
On a lesser note:
Have you heard the saying "Does a bear s#!t in the woods?"... Well i know of this guy who was running and found halfway through his trip he had to do that thing that bears do in the woods!
Running along the beach, thankfully no houses or people around a decision was made.
To drop drawers and commune with nature!
Problem number two (pardon the pun) was that there was nothing soft around to wipe after the event...
Embarassment number two was using the sea to cleanse ones backside... then to look up an see a yacht moored in the bay!!!! DOH!
Then running home with tail well an truly between the legs...

What's Better Than Finding Your Limits?
What's Better Than Finding Your Limits? Exceeding them!
I was running what I thought was 5 k's on my holidays but the location was so nice to look at and i was being distracted from what I was doing that I would actually run up to 10 kilometers on some runs.
I didn't know I could do that... or at least my mind kept telling me i couldn't.
It's will surprise you sometimes what you are capable of.
Oh damn... ran out of time for the embarassing story...
Next time... :P

Back From The Beach... or "Life's a Beach and then you... Blog"
Back to my once a day routine.
An article, a link, a webpage (see below) and a blog.
Did I run on the beach?
Did I find ispiration?
Do I feel refreshed?
Will I continue on my path?
Yes... yes... yes and ... yes.
Have a funny story about one of the runs I went on. Will save that for next time

Taking a Break
Back to work next week so i'm gonna take a holiday off my 'Once a Day' routine.
I have been writing an article, adding a page to my website, getting an incoming link and writing to this blog once a day for the past month.
It's an effort to get a routine that's manageable, but still worth some value.
Heading to the beach so i'll see if a week of running on the sand will do me any good (and whether I actually do it!)
Also need some inspiration for new articles so clearing the mind may make way for some fresh ideas.
Here's a page I just put up on the 2009 Suzuki RMZ250.
I like bikes that aren't too potent so us novice riders can push the engine harder for longer:

A Blast From the Past
Went roller skating this morning. Took my kids to a place I used to go to when I was 12 or 13 years old... that was 26 years ago!
Hasn't changed at all and I realised I was even wearing a similar jacket today I used to wear back then and I spent a bit of time in the video games area so... seems I haven't changed much either.
On a different note, i've always been a Honda fan and I like the review on the CRF250 below.
The twin exhausts look hot!!!

Lazy Days and Dirtbikes
Not much goin on today.
Selling the house so had to clear out twice for people to go through it.
The things you put up with when you have a 'For Sale' sign on you front fence... Just had some people walk up the side of our place and peek over the fence... I mean, wouldn't you normally call the Police if that happened?
Wrote another article, put up another page (link below) so been watching videos on dirtbikes and getting the urge to drag mine out of the garage... well the garage at my brothers house anyway.
Take a look at a video on the new Suzuki RMZ 450... now electronic fuel injection is on dirtbikes!!! what next, hybrid or electric dirtbikes??? Actually i read that KTM is testing...

Yogi's and Shopping and Walking Into Doors
Still reading 'Autobiography of a Yogi' (nearly 600 pages!) and at times I wonder about one thing in particular.
The need to 'honour' or 'glorify' a master, guru or God... God-like figure.
I mean, to me God (be it the figure head of religions or the sea of consciousness) is all knowing, all loving, humble and gentle being. Even reading about the Swami's and Yogi's in India it seems to translate to followers "giving" themselves to their master's and guru's.
It is said as a sign of faith and ultimate belief, but I feel that such a figure in this position would discourage that and show themselves more as an equal... I'll keep thinking about it and express what I mean more fully next time.
Went to the shops to get some new clothes for myself while taking the kids along... walked out with a new bike, some rock candy, 3 krispy kreme donuts and... dang no pants for me!
Just walked into a glass door at the neighbours... felt too stupid to feel the pain until i got home!
