Back in Blog Land

Hi everyone, sorry for my absence. Life has been a little hectic.

It was good to have my running buddy, Tigger, back on Sunday. I was not feeling the best due to having spent most of the day on Saturday in the toilet......painting and tiling. working in cramped conditions took their toll on my back and legs.

Our run didn't get off to the best start. Tigger had some shoe issues so we ran via her home to sort out her inner sole. We then decided to proceed though Chelmer and Yeronga but on the way passed a sign that warned that we would be haring the road with thousands of cyclists so we turned back and headed to St Lucia. At the University there were more warning signs. We decided to not cross the Green bridge and headed back to Park Road instead. At the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossing on Coronation Drive we had to yell at the cyclists, there were many celebrating bike week, to stop at the red light just so we could cross. The run was not quite 25K but that was enough.

London is less than 5 weeks away and Vienna Half (haven't upgraded) less than 4 weeks.

Rob, my spies tell me you're in great shape for London.

Glad it was painting and tiling! Pretty handy place to spend all day ;) Hope it wasn't too smelly in there.

Good luck with London Rob. I talked to Action Jackson on Sunday and he said he wrangled a sub elite start. UK PO address with fast for age time or something like that. Good luck with Vienna if you do that as well.
