Day Forty Two - Sauna Suit

Dear all,

Today I was back on the spring-time fitness regime, my latest challenge involving an alarmingly named 'sauna suit' purchased from Wall Mart during a moment of bewildered awe and borderline insanity.

The sauna suit was a frightening two piece design that had the most disturbing odor; almost like it had been dipped in turpentine. The combination of design and fabric encourages your body to sweat and it is recommended that you use the suit during exercise; a regime that apparently causes dramatic reduction in size.

After all my years of running, I was very intrigued about use of the sauna suit. I managed a brief test run up and down the drive way and it was truly one of the most uncomfortable runs of my life. The concept of running in the suit for any length of time is incomprehensibly mind blowing. I am almost positive that instead of weight loss, it causes dehydration, asphyxiation and deep distress.

Linda was kind enough to document the challenge in the attached video.

And in other news:

1. A HORRIFIC experience this morning. Whilst making a beeline for the coffee machine after arriving at work, I ran into Jacob ( a new volunteer from Germany ) who, in a slight tizzy, exclaimed that the dogs had 'found a rabbit'. I knew ( with a sinking heart) that it was down to me to deal with the situation. Not knowing what I was going to find, I braved the scene of the crime. The crime was no less than brutal murder by decapitation. Mac had managed to execute said crime whilst wearing his muzzle and was now sitting on the lawn, looking like the cat had all the cream, eating the rabbit's head through the muzzle by sucking it out through the metal prongs.

I was going to document the incident in photos but decided against it ( mainly due to the post traumatic stress caused from the removal of the headless rabbit) and I am sure it would have contravened some level of broadcasting standards regulations.

Instead, a slightly more cheery picture of Mac eating Angus.
