Puppies and work

I work for a fitness equipment retailer in an outer suburb of Melbourne called Just Fitness. Here we sell, deliver and (if the customer is lucky enough) install their newly purchased goods. I've been here for a couple of years now, and have to say it is actually a pretty good place to work. Below is my lovely workmate, we usually spend our time looking up funny stuff on youtube or trying to hit each other in the crotch with a rubber ball, fun times...



Anyways, I have been doing a lot of gym installations recently which has it's ups and downs. On the negative side, these installs usually take place after hours or on my days off... but on the plus side it usually means some extra pocket money for the week, I get to meet some cool people and their even cooler animal companions. Recently I've been the victim of a kitten walking all over me, a beagle puppy all up in my grill, a pitbull that wouldn't stop licking me and to top it off, today a puppy border collie that was tripping me up and nibbled on my knee.... who am I kidding I loved every minute of it, I wanted to steal this puppy soooo bad today, he was (is) awesome. I'm gonna try to remember my camera on all my installs from now on



Also came across this building on the way to the customers house, pretty cool.

FIRST BLOG!!!

Hi,

So this is my first ever blog...(unless you count my training log on veganfitness.net) Shout out to my good friend Jade, who encouraged me to get this bloggy blog happenin'. Check out her awesome blog at: http://subarashiblog.blogspot.com/

Not sure what I am supposed to do with this, but I guess some kind of introduction is in order. My name is Hayden, I was born in Holland, (although am in no way Dutch) and moved to Australia when I was a couple of weeks old. Skip forward a couple of years and I am now slightly taller and almost a quater of a century older ...sigh... I am vegan, so I do my darndest to avoid everything that comes from, uses, or involves animals for our own purposes. I've been vegan now for around 3 or 4 years, and am going on strong! One of my major interests is strength training, I am currently learning Olympic (style) Weightlifting, being trained by Paul from Apollo Personal Fitness in Footscray at the awesome and historic Docklands Cotton mills (I will get some photos to supply proof of the awesomeness) I also am into Powerlifting and Strongman but my main interest surrounds Olympic weightlifting. One day I hope to chuck on the leotard and compete, but I think I have a little while to go before I will comfortable to hit the platform.

Enough for now, stay tuned for more!
