So I got bitten by a dog

Most days of the week I run home from work. It is a lazy 2.5 run from work to my front door – nothing more than a sprint really.To keep it interesting I load up my backpack with as much weight as possible and try to get it done in under 10 minutes.

The other day was a typical pea soup Brisbane summers day – heavy on the heat and humidity. I was just around the corner from my place and breathing pretty hard when I saw a lady on one of those mobility scooters. I ran around her not noticing her dog…..which jumped and bite me on leg

Now to be fair to the dog what would you do?

A strange looking bald man, dripping with sweat and breathing very heavily is running towards your mum

Luckily the dog just caught me on the shorts without any major damage

Everyone wears Speedo’s........

.....in Brisvegas

So I have started to get back into my swimming. I rocked up to the local pool in my usual swimming gear

- Long shorts
- Sun proof rash vest (short sleeve)

There were about 20 other men in the pool. No women, just men.

All wearing Speedos.

Big and small

All in the short stuff. Basically I looked like a freak in all my gear

To top it off as we are still moving I did not have any swimming towels handy.....so I had to borrow one from my son....which was hooded
