“Never a dull moment,” a comment often heard exchanged amongst Consultants, many times coupled with a slight shake of head, a sigh and a bittersweet/exasperated grin.

I still use it for work-related occasions simply because I couldn’t think of anything else other than ”interesting…”, which is way too overly connotated.

BUT, I’m *proudly* using it today on the occasion of my Half Ironman training experience:

Never a Dull Moment:

• When you are NOT sore the next day from a mile of open water swimming followed by 56 miles of cycling on persistent rolling hills- however, you are in extreme pain from getting badly sunburnt while training outdoors. Parts of you are red like a robster, and you now have a more-than-obvious sleeveless tan from your tri-top, and a freakin’ GLOVES tan from your bike gloves.
• When you are finally sore from hill workout, you do your body-good by taking time to roll out your thighs with a foam roller (good ol’ myofascial release). Well, your thighs may be feeling teeny-tiny better the next day, but your pecs and abs (I mean upper AND lower) are ironically sore from holding your upperbody up in order to put the weight of your thighs on the foam roller. Think of the plank position.

I just find these side-effects ironically funny. *shaking head, <sigh>, silly grin*: “never a dull moment.”
