Of jogs and stars

Having the need to train for my impending IPPT, I took to jogging in the night when it is cooler and not much traffic. As I hit my mid-way mark of about 1.2km, the urge to quit is unbearable. I do not fathom how I can survive easily 24km of cycling against 2.4km of jogging.

If I could have my way of testing my own fitness, I would rather be cycling or roller-blading, where the impact on my joints would be less and the joy of speeding will drive my heart rate faster.

Anyhow, at the mid-way mark, I would be staring up in the skies, looking for God!!! As I will not give up..must..make...it...to...my....goal..
While up in the skies, I noticed somethings which I haven't enjoyed for a long time. The afternoon rains have been drastic, but I couldn't imagine the night skyline would be so clear. March nights are filled with many constellations in the southern hemisphere, you can easily spot 50 over stars clearly visible.

If you need a star map to spot the skies with your love ones, download here.

These are some of the Constellations of the Southern Hemisphere:

Apus, the bird of paradise
Ara, the altar
Carina, the ship's keel
Centauras, the centaur
Chamaeleon, the chameleon
Circinus, the compass
Crux, the southern cross
Dorado, the swordfish
Eridanus, the river
Grus, the crane
Hydrus, the water snake
Indus, the Indian
Lepus, the rabbit
Mensa, the table
Musca, the fly

Pavo, the peacock
Phoenix, the phoenix
Pictor, the easel
Reticulum, the net
Triangulum Australe, the southern triangle
Tucana, the toucan

Enjoy it while it lasts!
