And I also have been in Melbourne to "play" at the launch of a Nespresso store on Collins street.
The Nespresso people were extremely friendly, great hosts, looked after us well and I now can retire comfortably knowing that I have achieved all I set out to do in my career as a professional musician.
The Ness heads put us up at the Crown Metropolitan where I took use of the treadmills in the gym.
I haven't been on a treadmill for a long time party due to the fact that I don't own one and also because I have been enjoying running outdoors so much. I have to say that although I know that the treadmill is much better for your joints and you can get more out of them in regards to controlled environment and a controlled speed. I found it a little boring and I also could not stop looking at time, distance, calories etc on the screen. This did not help me mentally. I kept saying to myself only 50 minutes to go, 40 minutes to go, 30 minutes and so on. To the point where I had to cover the time with my towel and just concentrate on the distance.
With a goal of 10km I started pretty strong at 12km/hr. About 20 minutes I got cramps in my shins to the point where i had to stop for a minute or so.
ANYWAY I got back with speeds between 10.5Km/hr and 11.5km/hr and I complete the 10 kmin 53 minutes.
I also squeezed in 5 km this morning on the treadmill before i checked out.
Heading to Alice Springs tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some red dust on my Nike's.
