Saddle Sore *Image heavy*

I nearly didn’t go for a ride this morning. When I woke up it was very overcast and I looked out the window and thought it was going to rain so I hit the snooze button. At 6:30 it was still overcast and I was still tossing around whether it was going to rain or not and then I thought of my lovely online friend and it came to mind that I was just making an excuse not to exercise. So I got up and dressed and went out for a morning ride.

The first 5 minutes were a killer! My butt hurt, talk about saddle sore and I was mentally kicking myself because I went through this last time and because I haven’t ridden for awhile it is going to take a bit of time for that soreness to go. I should never have stopped, but I am basically a lazy person and I really need a bit of help in the motivation side of things.

But I also thought of myself and how I really wanted to do this for me. It is part of my long term goal of becoming CRO and then into Sales. I need to have motivation, that go get it attitude and a competitive nature. All of which I know I possess, but I have let the laziness rule that part of my nature. Exercising for me and loosing weight is a way of reflecting all of what I want on the inside physically as well. I don’t know if this is quite making sense but in my mind it does.

I took the camera on my ride today and went in search of gutters for Jacqui, more houses to show and I also saw a tree and thought of Act Natural. This tree needed to be shown to her so it got a snap taken as well…

I forgot to take a pic yesterday of the first bridge that I rode over, so I took one thos morning…

Next I was on a hunt for gutters for Jacqui. I was hoping to get something uusual or funny, but no such luck. All I managed were plain old gutters….but Jacqui, just for you…

I call this one gutter with leaves…

Another one I call Gutter with leaves…

 And just to prove we occasionally do clean oput gutters, I call this one Gutter without leaves…

I once again took lots of pics of houses…just a few for you to sample…

There first two are part of the same house. The first pic is the origonal house and the second pic is what they have added on just recently..

This house overlooks the park by the river that I rode to today…

And this one I like because of the different materials they have used to do the extension…

This next one is a bit of a blurred picture of one of our native birds, the locals call it a Twenty Eight. I am not too sure why, but it is some kind of lorekeete. We get them all over the place here and in some areas they will come and eat off your hands if they are take enough…

Here is a different shot of the river. This one was taken from the first bridge that I road over this morning. You can see how low the river is, we are on water restrictions here…

That big house in the earlier pic, well this is the view of the river that it had…

Standing right on the edge of that boat ramp you can see the bride I road across yeaterday and also the train bridhe. The white one is the one I road on with the bumpy wooden planks!

And last but not least, one for Act Natural…

Work today was frustrating. Since the Sales Secretary left I have been doing her job as well as my job and I feel like I am only doing half of each job and not very well at that. I am becomeing a bit depressed about work, I am finding it really boring and I am really missing the customer interaction. But we got a HUGE tender today which will hopefully mean that CRO position is closer than I thought, which means I need to do some more work on me to show that I am capable of doing this position.

Just another little piece of me…..
