So we are part way through January 2011 and already its been the most wonderful start to the year...two things already crossed off the list.... Have completed the Mackay loop we set out to do before Christmas. What an unreal day this was...took us most of the day but it was about enjoying the journey and not the destination. I think we achieved this hands down. Best part of the day was the view!
Then we've ridden up to Teemburra Dam near Pinnacle... enjoyable ride up a steep road for part of it at 16% and the most enjoyable part of this day was just laying on a patch of grass catching some rays next to my best friend.
The rest of January 2011 will see us head down to Canberra for work for a few days, then onto Mount Kosi with a plan to ride one day, and hike to the summit on another day. I am so looking forward to this trip...its hard to remained focused.
Not sure what else we'll manage to pack into the month... but I can't wait to find out. |

What a blast I'm having.
It is hard to comprehend how just several months ago I was spending my weekends doing crap and focusing on what other people wanted out of me and expected out of me, instead of focusing on what it is that I wanted out of my life. I've changed that.... and am in the words of a very good friend "beyond content". Life simply.... does not get any better than this.
December has been a big month and its not even half way over.
Spent the most wonderful couple of days up at Blackdown Tablelands National Park, near Blackwater in Queensland. Then spent some time on 11th December riding around Grasstree Beach... came off the bike twice and have the bruises, scratches and sore shoulder to prove it :-) Couldn't think of a better way to spend my time.
It's all about the Journey...the laughter and good times along the way. |

My name is Melissa and I'm planning on hiking, biking, swimming and running (maybe kayaking and swimming) myself through the next 15 months.
To challenge myself, my aim is to tackle 15 new events or activities between October 2010 and December 2011.
As part of this challenge, I'm aiming to do some travel around Australia and try and participate in at least 1 event in each State/Territory over this period of time. Ideally I'd also like to travel overseas and do some hiking/biking/rafting somewhere.
I've 2 events planned in October 2010 at this stage. My calendar details those events which I'm planning on participating in.
I've also created some space to upload photos and provide reports on events/activities.
As a wise man said to me once..... it's all about the journey. Thanks Dash :-)
I've created this site as a way to keep track of the journey and keep a log of times/achievements and to have something to reflect back upon when the kms get tough, or I lose motivation.
It's all about the Journey |
