Back from Sydney where I spent a couple of days for work. I didn't do any running, or in fact anything remotely resembling exercise, but I did eat chocolate! Went out to an Italian restaurant with Mr B for dinner on Sunday evening and had Penne Siciliana - very nice and very filling. Afterwards I could hardly refuse the Truffle Tim Tams that were offered ;-)
Monday night I went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant with Lulu, Mr "the Legend" Lulu, Owl and Jen. Beautiful food, great wine and company (a photo will appear when I get myself organised), despite the best intentions of 'Rod'(or 'Roy'?) and his 'running' mates to gatecrash our gathering. Again, I could hardly ignore the Truffle Tim Tams in my hotel room fridge (oh dear, there is a theme happening here!).
Tuesday morning dragged my work colleague along to Lindt Cafe. I had to ring jen to get precise directions because I only knew that it was in Martin Place, not helpful when we were actually dropped off at the opposite end and it was raining! Still, it was worth it - 'I'm in heaven' comes to mind, when we were sitting surrounded by everything chocolate. Bliss! I had 2 mochas which are made with Lindt dark chocolate and a chocolat au pain (chocolate croissant - has a layer of Lindt chocolate inside). I also bought chocolates to take home!
A detox is probably what is required, as well as some serious exercising now that I'm home...well, once we've finished the box of Lindt chocolates!!!!! ;-)

Sounds an absolutely divine eating experience at Lindt - in fact a fantastic eating experience for your entire time in Sydney - did you actually fit any work in there?? Truffle tim tams - mmmm - are they available here? Sounds like I might be bringing back some chocolate on Thursday and a definite detour to Lindt is planned before my meeting!
It is wonderfull you are able to aprecciate something as much as chocolate, I think enojoying is a very important part of life that some people just leave on the side, but well I also think that when you are a runner enjoying anything becomes easier.
Thanks for telling me about the injury risk, I am being very carefull specially because being injuried means not running... and I've been there but keeping the a slow pace avoids that. thanks again.
Goodness gracious - sounds like the running season is over? That's one well deserved choccie splurge CJ! Glad you had such a great time
CJ, even if this blog entry wasn't about running I am so glad you posted. I'm off to Sydney tonight .... might have to take a wee stroll around Martin Place tomorrow :-)
Glad you had a good time in Chocolate Town! Hope you'll come back soon..Lindt will be waiting for you!
Nice job on your 8k! If I am calculating correctly, that equates to about a 7:42 minute/mile. Nice! How is the ankle feeling?
You make me want to go out and get a Mocha Cappaccino!
