Hanoian Fever

Been struggling with a virus/fever since Friday here in Hanoi; the WORST timing seeing as this was the weekend when the workshops I am co-hosting with a local fermenter kicked off. Noooo!! Bad timing, but what can you do. I've obviously upped my intake of turmeric and ginger drinks, and I'm confident it will shortly be pissing off. Hope so anyway. This was me (above) trying to capture my beautiful temporary office for the afternoon yesterday, as I took the opportunity post-workshop (excuse the extremely badly taken, wonky shot there) to work on location by the pool (again, trying to rest while work, if that's possible, in order to kick this annoying virus!).

We were fortunate enough to be able to hold our fermentation workshop at the most beautiful gym I've ever been to or seen, right here in Tay Ho, Hanoi: The Fitness Village. It is such a calming, beautiful space - perfect for working out, relaxation, OR indeed, a fun fermentation workshop! Thanks to my partner Laci (the talented, wonderful fermenter extraordinaire) and to all who came along for both afternoons - this was a lot of fun, and I can't wait for the next one! Next month we will be holding another workshop (probably our last for a while) on: GINGER BEER!! Stay tuned for June 5th and 6th. I can't wait for this one. Especially the samples.
Ooh the samples of Laci's Sauerkraut were sooo delicious too... Here are a couple of pics from the Sunday workshop (I am bad at documenting things it seems, only took a couple):

As much as I love running online programs, and having one-on-one Skype or facebook sessions with clients, there is just something so amazing about having a live workshop, I've come to realise - there's a wonderful energy, different connections are made, and I love being a part of getting people together to discuss food and nutrition! Workshops are a lot of fun. 

If you've tuned in here for the running news - I haven't got much news! Had a bit of quieter week running wise, although upped my cross-training: I did a cycle class for the first time since leaving Australia (again, thank you The Fitness Village! Great class. Intense. Like camping, lol...) and the usual bodypumping, and cycling around town was had. My legs were still feeling a bit fatigued after the Cat Ba trail/road run so I took it a bit easier on them. When I thought I was fully over my virus yesterday, I went for my 'long' (ish) run of the week, from my place up to West Lake, around the Lake and then home again. Thought I was fine and over it, until last night at the end of my first ever Tango class (a lot of fun by the way!) when my fever and rubbish feeling was back with avengeance. Nooo.... So, having a rest day today.
