No, I'm not feeling like the proverbial black dog is stalking me. I'm actually feeling pretty good.
But I am working on a new plan. My plan is to do 3,000 pushups during the three hours of a Channel 7 Sunrise broadcast in Martin Place right in front of the studio.
I've found a charity that would suit this purpose. It's called the Black Dog Institute and they do more than raise awareness of depression. They provide clinical support and conduct research too. They also recently staged Exercise Your Mood week promoting exercise as a way of fighting depression.
I think they would also be better at getting a foot in the door with the network people better than I would as they are a respected organisation rather than some random weirdo who does pushups in public.
Tomorrow I will make some calls and see what I can arrange. I'll be up in Sydney next week and it could be a great opportunity. Pushups and exercise in general have always been a lifeline of sorts for me, and I think there could be a lot of interest in this. I could do some good and have a sense of purpose again.
I'll keep you posted.
Today my interval timer arrived and I put it to use immediately with a tabata workout at the gym.
TW: Tabata sandbag squats (163), tabata rowing (65 calories), tabata sandbag around the worlds (75), tabata SDHP 32kg (84), tabata pullups (93), tabata hr pushups (114).
Also, there will me more change in Chez Canuck. Esky is leaving. She couldn't bear to go without winter, and will be moving to Europe in December as soon as she finishes work. Also, her boyfriend is there.
