The Word Press Exercise Challenge

Hi everyone

Well, it's been some weeks since my last post. Our family has been very busy. We had a little trip, by car. Our kids are now homeschooling 100% and that is more time consuming as a parent.

Life is pretty good in many ways.

I'd like to take a moment to pass on good thoughts and wishes to all those who have survived the various natural disasters that have occurred in the last 3-4 months, not just here in Australia, but also New Zealand and especially Japan. The ramifications of the situation in Japan is quite overwhelming - nuclear radiation contamination. We must all help each other, even if it's just some useful information to support coping with the added toxic load that is eventuating.

What I was intending to tell you all about was the great idea the guys at Word Press have put together - a 5Km exercise challenge - walk/jog/run/swim/ride..... whatever your ability and preference, as long as you try to do something if you are physically able.

The idea (from the Automattic WP blog) :

WHAT IT IS: A 5k run/walk (approximately 3.1 miles). You can run, walk, or skip. It’s up to you. There’s no time limit and there’s just one requirement: that you participate! [Updated: You can do it inside or outside, on a treadmill or on a track, or even do a swim or a bike ride instead of running/walking - just get moving!]




It’s roughly equal to:



•3.1 miles

•12 laps around a track

•approximately 6000-7500 steps

•approximately 50-60 minutes of brisk walking

WHEN: We’re all busy, but we want you to participate, so we’re giving you some flexibility, too. The WWWP5k is set for Sunday, April 10th, but you can do your walk anytime from April 4th -10th (you’ve got a week to fit it in). Just post about it and use the tag “wwwp5k” so we can find you (and for a chance to be Freshly Pressed).


OK - so people of Australia and the World - get training and exercise! Make it a habit - a lifelong habit, "cos if you don't use it you lose it!

If you are in Melbourne - The Tan is 3.8km, so one and half times around will do nicely. With the beautiful Gardens beside you all the way.


Peace to all

Gardasil - is the promise too high risk?

Gardasil is the vaccine for the Human Papiloma Virus that is linked to cervical cancer. However, there are serious doubts about its safety. After viewing this short for a documentary, would you feel safe to have your child vaccinated without doing more investigation



KISS for life.
Peace to all,
