Little Lachie!

Congrats to Tash and Max, my best friends from way back, who have just had a baby boy called Lachlan Rees Cobb. He looks like such a little angel and I can't wait to meet him! Born 6th July 2006 in Perth.

CHINA -KOREA -THAILAND

WEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Still training training training! We've been back at training the last few weeks working hard on the track and in then ring. I start yoga classes tomorrow .....I dont know why I want to put myself through the pain of holding strange poses but I think it will be heaps of fun and I'm sure it will make my bendy legs more "bendable".

I haven't had to catch the tram/tram the last week because I finally got a car to drive around in (after 10 months of slow slow slow travel!) My car's soooooooo cute and zippy I LOVE IT! It's my blue toyota echo baby and although I haven't got photos to post yet, be sure to see them soon:)....FREEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!

The other day I officially found out I'm off to the China, Korea and then straight to the World Cup in Thailand. 7 weeks away is going to be a test in itself but hopefully good performances will make the trip all the more enjoyable.

Perth in June

I went back to Perth for a week after the competition to see my family and visit friends. It was so relaxing to be in their company and I very much enjoyed the warm weather!

-- Whilst I am training in Victoria I am very much a WA athlete and apart of WAIS's sporting family! During the week I went into WAIS and saw a number of people there including Helen Baron Hey (Taekwondo Program Coordinator), Steve Lawrence (Executive Director), Liz Booth (Previous TKD Coord) and believe it or not I caught up with Even Stewart (former WAIS psychologist) who had been overseas working for Malaysia the last 2 years. WAIS has supported me in TKD since 1999 and seeing everyone there always reminds me of how good WA sport is and how lucky I am to be apart of it.--

I also spent some quality time with my Dad at the football! We saw the Eagles go down against the Western Bulldogs by 9 points! It wasnt the score line I predicted but I had heaps of fun watching the game in one of the eagles boxes.

There was sooooooo much I did in a short period of time and needless to say I cant wait to go back again! I miss my mum already!
