Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

go onto mingers.com and you will get the idea :wink:

Bags all packed, kids in bed, just kicking back with a cup of tea before I go to bed. Up early tomorrow to catch the early flight. Kids were so excited tonight, they were bouncing around the house. I am looking forward to getting away now too. I’ll post up some sunny pics soon.

Beach day with the family today. Lots of running around with the kids in the sand and jumping in the waves. Add in lots of kneeling down and digging big holes to bury the kids in and you get a recipe for a tight lower back and hips. I think it is easier to just do squats !!

And now, other than SA, most other states are in lockdown. You can head home no probs though with home quarantine upon your return though yeah?

Looks delightful btw, misty rain and cold here in the hills this weekend.

Checked this morning and pretty sure at the moment we can travel back with no restrictions from here. Although that could change in the next 7 days. Fingers crossed.

Few more cases of COVID up in QLD and it looks like some restrictions will be in place from tomorrow. This could effect travel back home and could mean some isolation time when we do get back to Melbourne. Going to get to the gym tomorrow and will go again later in the week. Will just move something heavyish this week and hopefully I can train as normal when I’m back home.

I thought it looked like Surfers

Stayed there many a moon ago

Enjoy ya big hairy cornflake

In a 3 day lock down here in the Gold Coast so no gyms open. Went for a walk by the beach earlier and they have those exercise stations along the promenade. The station near to our apartment was one of those monkey bar stations for pull ups and stuff. As I walk past it I hear bloody @ChongLordUno in my head in his best Scottish accent. “Hey Simo will ya loook at thaat, that would be perfect for a wee little session later on. Don’t be such a big soft cock and get ya chunky ass down here, I fkn dare ya”

So that was it I had to do it. Went back in the evening and did a little circuit.

5 pull ups
10 burpees
15 push ups
20 squats
Managed to do 8 rounds before my back was so pumped and I was too dizzy to do more.

@ChongLordUno I hate you nearly as much as I hate myself. X

We are out of lockdown now but unfortunately it’s going to be a rainy day. Decided to take the kids to Movie World theme park and ride some roller coasters in the rain. Kids love the big rides, Mum and dad not so much :nauseated_face:

So me and the family get to fly home tomorrow. We will all need to have a COVID test and self quarantine at home until we get a negative result back. Will get the test done on the way home from the airport and hopefully only spend 1 day in isolation at home. Then it will be back to work and back to training properly again. Can’t wait.
