Unable to Sleep

Total Jet Lag.

    Arrivved in Oman at 10am went straight to the hotel and slept from 11am yesterday morning now wide awake at 3am (Muscat time). this meant that the 5k aday thing has been blown right out of the water, I,m still on track for 150k in 30days, So the best thing to do is just ignore the fact that i missed a day and keep moving forward.

   Decided to leave  the Hipster bike in Thailand for if i ever return so its hopefully now safely locked up in the container with all the other tools, i will no doubt forget about it over time and be nicely surprised when i return to Thai in a few years,

   Turned Outlook on this morning and the Calendar was nice enough to remind me that i should have been doing Outlaw Half next weekend. not sure how i ever thought i was going to train for a half ironman while travelling and working in the way i do, but then that's what the 5k a day was meant to be about, getting out and doing something no matter where i am in the world and what i'm doing.

   I have to drive up to Sohar on Tuesday to look at a new job that i will be doing in Aug and Sept. this will be a good chance to look for a bike shop and see about picking up a MTB for training on while here in the hot months. Sohar is nice, it's right on the beach but i noted that a pour 2 year old girl was swept away and drown from there last week, her poor poor parents must be distraught.
