Graduation day !

My hip was very unhappy after yesterday’s run. Same problem as before but it has never been as bad as it was yesterday. It’s my own damn stupid fault for not doing my strength/stretching program while I was away. After ice and voltaren, it was feeling much better but I think it might be better to skip tomorrow’s run. Will run again on Thursday before deciding whether to do the SMC 5km on Sunday.

Today was a great day. I had my graduation ceremony this morning followed by a celebratory lunch with Mr Jen and my parents. After 4 ½ years, I finally finished a Masters in Law from UTS. I wasn’t really looking forward to the ceremony; I was very sick of studying about half way through the degree – and let’s just say my enthusiasm for the law hasn’t been particularly high of late - but I’m glad I went. Once the ceremony had started, I found myself thinking about all the hard work and late nights over the years. I was very glad I decided to celebrate.



I’m not due back at work until tomorrow so after lunch, I headed home and – I confess – had a nap before heading to yoga. Feeling very tight and inflexible at the moment. I truly love yoga. I always leave the classes feeling rested, clear headed, refreshed, not to mention more flexible !

Congratulations - I got sick of studying half way through my MA too - still waiting for my thesis to come back to find out if it's really, really over!

Sounds like your holiday was fantastic.... and the trek to machu picchu is awesome isnt it - I sooo didn't think I was going to make it up 'Dead Woman's Pass' LOL (appropriately named,eh?)

Welcome home!
