At last I am starting to feel as my legs are willing to run again. Up until now I have felt as I have to will every step. On sunday I did 28K at an average pace of 5:11 per K and on Tuesday I did 7K at 4:57 pace. I can tell you, I was very happy. I am glad to be getting my running legs back as Tigger will be back on Sunday and I might stand a chance of keeping up with her.
I still haven't settled in to any sort of training regime. I had better do so as the Canberra marathon is getting closer. This will be my 5th Canberra Marathon. As usual I am really looking forward to it. I have booked my flight and my room at the Telopea Inn. I love this marathon becasue of the friendly atmosphere and the course. It has enough undulation to suit my needs. I find I do better on an undulating course than I do on a flat course like the Gold Coast.

Good to see you are coming to Canberra again Rob. I like Canberra, a few hills seems only appropriate for the tough task of a marathon.
Tigger will whip you into shape. She'll recite poetry to you and the pain will disappear.
It'll be good to cheer you on again. I've already put a couple of bob on you to beat Toasty :)
More news needed. Keep us up to date. I need to know others are suffering in thier training for Canberra. It almost February and the humidity has started but that is probably standard for you Qlanders.
