After last night’s post, I came to my senses. I’ve been a swimmer long enough (even with the hiatus) to know that I can’t possibly increase to 600 metres in such a short period of time. That’s over 1/2 a kilometre of swimming, if you think about it! It sucks to make this decision BUT [...]

After my midnight run (which was technically on Tuesday), I had a nice little sleep. When I awoke, I called the local pool to see if I could take the lifeguarding course I wanted. I can’t unfortunately because the course being offered is an add-on to the first part of it (ie, there’s a pool [...]

This past week I heard back from the aboriginal recruiter guy and consulted with an elder and everything is a go essentially for the September training course which lasts for three weeks. It is an introduction to the military and if I succeed with this course and desire to continue, then it’ll be the regular [...]

Well, I’ve not been progressing as quickly as I would like to. However, I do have some news on stuff happening here… I spoke with someone today from the military and we’re going to try and get me set up for the September three-week course. That means, this thing is becoming REAL and I have [...]
