Reflections

Ended up in Taronga Zoo this morning for a photography lesson that didn't end up happening. Given that I had already paid for the ticket - I didn't let it go to waste.

Upon returning from the Zoo I decided to take a walk in the Botanical Gardens - following my usual running route, but backwards.

As I was walking through the gates above - what I call gates of pain (which is usually the state I am in by the time I get there, and then even more so when I realize I am only half way). I heard two male runners past me saying "... you've got to look out for those with the lowest NPV..." I almost laughed out loud - chances are though they are in finance. But the point is, that too many times, I too, have been running out here and forgot to look around the city I live in, and had let the daily grind interfere with a moment of what could be calmness and reflection. It is an hour (or maybe less, given I am a slow runner) that is completely yours, for you to be in the moment.

After all, this is the city we live in. And what a beautiful sight.

Men's Singles Quarterfinals, Australian Open 2010

Andy Murray vs Rafael Nadal - Murray won 6-3; 7-6; 3-0 with Nadal retiring injured in the last set.

Was a lot of fun - should have done it years ago!

Score board; nice cool day.

Nervous, but exciting.

Bring it on.
