Strength in Interesting Places

Didn't read the details but I get the gist. Sorry :(


Remember....when one door closes another opens.
 
Always having doors open . . . what are you doing, trying to heat the whole neighbourhood?

Teh Conditioning

LISS: Incline treadmill walk, 1 hour- 6kmph/9% incline

I've been neglecting the HR/aerobic base stuff, hence today. Both the incline and the speed were lower than I have on a lot of my incline walks in the past, but this is based off using my HR monitor when back in Thailand and finding that my normal range was taking me over 150, which I am using as a proxy for 75%. So this session was really pretty easy.

In the evening I might go and do some yoga, and then a Bro Circuit of some kind.
 
I get one return ticket between every 6 week period in Afghanistan, and up to a certain cost they can be to anywhere I want

Yeah, it is pretty sweet. The single people here, or the people who have a partner here as well, are basically traveling to awesome places every 6 weeks. And Afghanistan is actually surprisingly well-located for travel. Once you have got to Dubai, Kenya is 4 hours away, Europe is 4-6, Maldives 4. Going East, from Delhi, Sri Lanka is about 2 hours, Bangkok 4, Nepal 2. So basically Asia, Africa and Europe are all pretty accessible. And there are direct flights to Turkey and Moscow, if you are so inclined. I've really been wanting to take more advantage of this, and now I get to.
 
I sometimes wish I was single again... 22 and have been in a relationship, living together for 3 years now.

Jaunty, with your hat tipped so, you'll be right.

True: the jaunty angle of my hat is another of my formidable advantages.
 
You should totally go to Croatia and see if you can track down STTD! and while there, they have some really nice beaches and R`n R places! Croatia is really the new "hot spot" for euro-tourism, and im not just saying that :)

Croatia is a possibility, but there are other places I want to go (or go again) first: Burma, Cambodia, Colombia, New York, New Zealand, Kenya. I want to go to one or two of the great European footballing cities, too, like Rome, Milan, Barcelona Munich or Madrid and take in a game as well.
 
Having been the initiator in a situation similar to yours I will say that it was just as hard, if not harder, to "walk away" so to speak. Regardless whether it's the right call; it's never easy.

When it's time, it's time and it made me feel like an incredibly weak person for a while; lost about 50lbs during rough patches and even more post split. I commend you, it's indescribably difficult to do. It's great that you are making effort to stay in your step daughters life, I make every possible second that I have available about my son and when I don't have him around it's hard.

Good luck, JA. And lookin' good, man.

Thanks, Aleks. (For both experience-sharing on the separation, and also endorsement of the "divorce physique". Alright, especially the latter.)

Come to New Zealand. We have many skanks. Some are attractive.

My main reason for wanting to go to New Zealand is that a friend of mine has a part-share of a vineyard on one of the islands somewhere- I want to visit it and drink its wine. But now you add skanks to the equation, and even attractive ones, you've elevated NZ to a whole new level of attractiveness.

Interesting. What is the vineyard called?
 
May I suggest Munich next year around this time?

Was thinking about that. Also, Berlin, for the Love Parade, whenever that is. I am planning to revisit my youth, and going out dancing was a big part of that.
