Its taking a toll on me but its been a great experience with these beautiful creatures helping us determining the migration process of insects due to climate change. Early morning wake up at 4:00 and then be attentive is challenging but I seem to love this coz this is testing me ... and pushing me to the limits.
Marathon training is going good ... couldn't do my 8m long run over the weekend ... thats something I need to compensate this weekend ... 18 weeks away ... on 08 Nov 09.
Reading ... The book-a-week is now back in from this month ... Warren Buffet is nearing completion and hope to finish "The man who planted trees" / 7 effective ways of influencing by the end of the week. Lots of work to do around the presentation to the team ... on climate change / sustainability.
There were three sessions over the week where we moved from HSBC climate change where we had Rachael Morgan from sustainability team answering our questions. We did SWOT analysis and identified areas of focus. This was a very useful session as there were varied opinions like something which has been portrayed as weakness after a detailed discussion turned out to be our opportunity. Food was great but there was loads of confusion around what is veg and what is non veg. Monday was my rest day for the run and with Rachel in at 7 ish we couldnt go to set the moth traps ... Poor Rita had to do it for all of us. I wasnt much happy with the session personally as I couldnt get the answers I was expecting.
Thats to do with Monday and on tuesday same old 4:00 wake up , rush to the moths but being cold the monday night we had less moths to catch. So came in early and went for a run cooked some stir fry which was good ... the rest of the afternoon just went by with nothing special. Tuesday's study session was more of individual oriented and was invlving a team of 2 which would coach one another. Richard selected Magda as coach to me ... we had a good 1 hour discussion on how magda can approach the project as she said one of biggest challenges is there is no ground work done and that she had literally start from scratch ... I bored her with plans around School partnership, double side printing access level profile and Timbaktu microfinancing. Over the next 2 days I will fine tune all my plans and chat with Dr. Khalid and then set up checkpoints along the completion of the tasks.
Just realised I forgot to mention that I met Shankar from Asha over the weekend and will meet again on Friday to take an outstandin items from the climate champion workshop.
Today wednesday another nightmarish day .... havent been feeling well with the headache and messed a few numbers for which I am cursing myself although it wont be of much help. I had to be focused and extremely attentive as the data here is very important in the research. Planning to go for a run .... I have the motivation to go for a 5 miler but the energy levels or very very low.
Targets for the day:
Warren Buffet way
5 miler
The man who planted trees
Start work on the presentation
Collect all available information on organic / sustainable foods ... start next monday and I will implement what I have learnt.
