37 days.....

I wasn't planning on blogging till Tuesday but thought I'd do one today as it's been a busy week.

I had my medical done on Wednesday where the Doc's had great joy prodding me with all sorts of jabs.  First I had blood took which I'll admit really made me light headed, then they done the TB test...another jab then to top it all off another Jab for a Tetanus.  I went back friday for my results and everything was spot on and good to go, a worry over and another step forward.

I'd been getting so lazy lately and as always, Michelle has been my inspiration.  Some great motivation finally got me off my ass and I went for 2 runs this week, albeit a total of 3 miles, it's a working progress to rediscover my cardio.  I's gonna take a while before I begin to run my normal distances of 3-6 miles.  Also today I played my first soccer game since Spring.  Was a co-ed game and the level was actually not too bad.  My legs managed to last the 50mins, score 2 goals and set up another 3, we were winning 5-3 with 3 mins to go then for some reason we changed keeper.....who must have thought he was still outfield and we.....or he lost us 4 goals in 3 mins and we lost the game 7-5, despite that it was fun and good to play again and looks like I'll play for the next 4-5 sundays.  This will no doubt pass the time even more.  Even after playing soccer i decided to walk to the nearby mall, around a 1.5 mile walk there.  It's safe to say my legs are now resting today lol.

Here's one thing I figured out today.  Because I don't have the car, like I said I walked to the mall.   I never passed one person on my way there, this being America people drive everywhere and I realised why:  In Ohio, Cincinnati where I'm staying there is a distinct lack of walk ways to walk on, to get across the road you need to walk around 1/4 mile to get to lights, people must have drove by me thinking 'what's that idiot doing walking?'  The walk was an adventure and I now realise why people here drive everywhere.  Lesson learnt.

I'm almost at the halfway point here now which is excellent, I'll feel so much better knowing I'm half done here and soon I'll be back to Michelle, that excites me more than anything.

On another note my beloved Rangers are now 6 out of 6 in the league and coasting back to the Premier league where we belong, RFC 1872.

37 days to go.....
