Australian 'Labour' Day

Monday was Labour Day in Australia, and thus a public holiday. Dan and I both headed out for some quality training time. I met up with Des, Kristel, and Adrian at the gym for two hours of hot and heavy boxing drills. We had only one pair of proper blocking pads, so we were using our boxing gloves to block each other's punches. Rather inventive we thought. It was such a great workout. We did all of the more complex, tougher drills, and for longer. I followed that up with a swim at the pool. It's been really hot here lately (in the upper 30's which is over 100F), which makes me want to stay away from our non-air conditioned house. I eventually headed home. Our model friend Genevieve came over for a few hours. Dan and I attempted to watch "The Secret" that evening, but got a lousy copy that kept skipping so we bailed on that plan. It was so great to have an extra day in the weekend!
