Winding Up - Winding Down

Hey Folks, thanks again for checking in for another bumper edition of Marto's Magic! 

This week has been pretty up and down, have finally got the runners on and started some training which is about time....have got some good rest days out of the system and it's now time to get training hard and wel again, will also have another 2 week break from hard training when i arrive in Paris, but should be all systems go when i get back from there to get a marathon ticked off this year. Looking forward also to getting back training with the EEP crew after a month off, am sure they will give me a fair hiding for the few weeks Ive missed training as hard as they have been.

Was a sad night Friday night when I had to say goodbye for 5 weeks to Gem, especially not being able to be with her for Christmas and New Year, but wont be far after i get to meet her in Paris, so really looking forward to getting over there and tucking into some frogs legs with Doubles...

Until then its Skype for now....

 

(last ditch effort haha)

But was cheered up by the outstanding performance of Miss Bux yesterday in the Placid Ark stakes. A filly with outstanding talent, which the stable has known about for a long time but have not been able to step her out due to soundess issues, Great to see her show the public what we have seen on the track, onwards and upwards for her.

Spent the night at the Inglewood Pub tonight with some very close mates, and had a great time chillin listening to the band play and relaxing with a good laugh.

Am also pleased to announce I will be back into Comedy early next year, having signed up for the heats of the RAW COMEDY 2013. Think there is a series of heats in Feb, followed by the Final and then if your lucky enough to get through the final is televised live on ABC so thats the dream at this stage! 

Coming into the silly season which is Christmas, i urge everyone to stay safe and enjoy the festivities! Lets not drink and drive, and remember what Christmas is about. To me it's not about getting stressed trying to buy the perfect gift, or getting stressed about how much money to spend on loved ones. To me it's about celebrating and being thankful for all the good things you have in life, and appreciating the gift of health and family.  

Till next time...Cheers
