Help Me Make the Most of Freedom and of Pleasure

Tooli has been selected for the Scotland West UK School Games Squad.

She spent yesterday at Wishaw training with both the Boys and Girls Team's, and has come home with a training schedule which she has to follow.

Tooli never takes instructions lightly! Remember I spoke once about her "quirks". One of them is, if someone tells you to do something, she will carry it through to the last letter.

So this morning, she was up (early for her on a Sunday), and headed out on a run. She sat steeling herself for a few minutes before she commenced the series of exercises to which she has been challenged.

I lay on the floor and admired her dedication and effort. And I wondered where in hells name did both of my kids get their enthusiasm for moving, and loving all things active. Already this morning I was witness to boy heading off along the road at great speed, phoning me and checking how far he had run in 10.34 min - it was just a click short of 1.5 miles.

Me on the other hand, will be taking to my bed this afternoon.

All this exercise is making me weak.

Ta Ta.
