July 9. Day 190. Leopard changes its spots

This leopard has now changed her spots. I was out of bed in the dark and at the bottom of Mount Cooth-tha ready to walk, fur friend by my side. My hiking boots are now out of retirement. The countdown to November 29 is now on in earnest. That gives me 143 days to get fit before the Great Ocean Road trekking holiday. And if today's effort was anything to go by, there is A LOT of work to do.
The morning started with the birds (this one my favourite bird reference book - Google - tells me is a Spotted Pardalote) and the afternoon ended at an electronics store. My wrist now sports a Fitbit to track the fitness progress. It's game on.
