For the past 6 months, no matter how terrible the weather, it always clears up by 6.00pm, well all good things must come to an end.

Well this may be viewed as a coincidence however I have many Fitmates now who can testify that it has absolutely poured before the session or within 15 minutes of the session finishing.

I’m positive in the future that we will have similar weather records being broken.

The warm balmy tropical weather we are experiencing in Melbourne is great for fitness training however the greater implications are very disturbing.

Long gone are the traditional 4 seasons, now we can look forward to below average rainfall, extreme heat waves and unpredictable weather patterns.

There are some tuff decisions that need to be made which will ultimately change the world as we need it, not tomorrow, by 2010, 2020 or 2030 but today.

We have all grown accustomed to our quality of life but unfortunately it is not sustainable.
Is the world really ready to sacrifice for the future of the planet?

Well after 4 months of rain free training at Edinburgh Gardens on Tuesday & Thursday nights, it has come to an end.

On Thursday night it rained consistently for the full 60 minutes. We retreated to the heriatge listed grandstand.

To the amusement of a a young couple enjoying the city views while under the watchfull eye of 50 adorning pidgeons, the fitmates trained, while the young couple gave words of encouragement with the odd question “can you show me how to tighten the right butt cheek”

The fitmates finished training and the couple resumed what young couples do and continued to drink vodka & orange while puffing on non police endorsed substances:))

With the threat of imminent rain & dark gloomy skies on the horizon, our record of 3 months without rain between 6.30pm-7.30pm at Edinburgh Gardens remains in tact, although it did sprinkle a few drops while we were stretching in the Rotunda:(

it amazes me how this particular longitude and latitude escapes Melbourne’s rainfall.
