Its been a bit of a battle to get back into training this year. Among other things, I seem to be getting sick a lot and now there is another baby in my home.Once you are out of the routine, it can be difficult to get back into it. ThisĀ  is the real battle I have been facing. Since the last time I got sick, I just haven’t been able to get the motivation back again to hit the track.

I had life saving patrol on the weekend though. During my 6 hour patrol, I managed to get 45 minutes swimming and body surfing and then also an hour out on the rescue board, paddling around the flagged area, keeping an eye on things etc. I really enjoyed my time in the water. All of a sudden – I have a spark of motivation to get things moving again.

Surf Life Saving huh – there are so many reasons why its great to be involved.
