Putting things in perspective

Life is never straight forward and death always gives me a shake.  But when it is so close to your doorstep (Paris) it really does make you question what is going on all over the world.  I'm not going to get political but wanted to express my condolences to those affected (across the world).
So fortunately life continues.  The gluppy throat became "man flu" and you know how serious that can be!  Unfortunately it meant I had to cancel my training on Monday &Tuesday.  I then headed off to Marrakech with my wife for four days of relaxation in the sun with some excellent food and wine.  What a wonderful time we had.  An amazing cultural experience and I took full advantage of the time to let my body recover.  It was just what the doctor ordered and I missed the miserable weather back home.
Today was my first day back training.  I went a run at Chatelherault and waded through the floods. The stats were reasonable following 6 days off training so I think the rest did me some good.  The weather continues to be terrible but it makes me feel alive when I'm being battered by the elements.  My philosophy in life is to worry about what you can control and not what you can't hense the reason I am continuing life as normal.  I hope we will all support those affected by terrorism throught the world.
