bondi rescue

i can't go down to bondi anymore without worrying that I will fall over or do something otherwise fairly stupid and end up on some silly tv show as a cautionary tale of 'what not to do'.

but at 5.30 there were no lifeguards or cameras and i think the whole season is over anyway!

i had a lovely morning's exercise actually. the goal was 40 mins on the coastal path between bondi and bronte (not all the way...) and then 2 laps of bondi on the soft sand. Sort of happened. In my 40 mins I only ended up doing 3.5 km because just before tamarama, a lady out walking with her two daughters slipped on some really steep stairs and really twisted her ankle. We got her down and it was already like a tennis ball by the time we looked at it. Luckily another passer by had a phone and another one was a bloke and helped her right up to the top where her husband drove down to get her. Ow!! She actually looked like she might pass out or vomit...
My skills were best utilised in distracting the two little girls. Never nice to see your mum hurt.

Anyway - got back to the beach and hit the soft sand. Cripes its hard!! Just under 2k in just under 15 mins! ish.

So then to round out my hour I did some pushups and various core exercises and some good stretching. Noice. It was a beautiful morning at the beach, and I was reminded that I was in sydney by the 20 bazillion (no exaggeration) other people down there...
