I don’t know when the last time I blogged was, probably 3 or 4 days ago. I’m wondering if I’m better off blogging more frequently but with more brevity, or writing a longer post that may be more interesting, and doing it less frequently. I think the issue is that I don’t have interesting things happening in my life on a regular basis, it’s all quite routine and mundane.

I haven’t done much running of late, did a few laps at running club on Thursday night with Robyn and Anja, nice slow pace, and nothing since. I didn’t get to do the 30k at Glasshouse on Sunday, a last minute child minding problem meant I had to look after the kidlets. I took them to the kite fest at Redcliffe, and we had a nice morning out nonetheless. Just leaves me quite short as far as hill/trail training for Kokoda, which is only 2 months away now.

I was back at the physio today, he does something amazing to my calf muscles - trigger point therapy, does that sound right? He finds the sore tight spots and presses them, then stretches everything, and they end up just feeling so good!! I’ve pretty much got no pain in the calves now, and I’m being really good about stretching a lot after any sort of exercise. Hopefully that’s the end of that.

I spoke to our local Fernwood about honouring the 1 month pass, which is actually from Fernwood at Jindalee, about an hour’s drive from here. They declined, but did give me a 2 week pass to try them out. So, I’m off tomorrow for a cardio workshop, then I do a weights workshop. I may as well make the most of the two weeks. If anyone knows someone over Jindalee way who would like a free month at Fernwood, let me know and I’ll stick it in the mail.

I’ve entered the Caloundra Foreshore Fun Run on Sunday, it’s 10km along the coast and should be a stunning place to run. I’ve often thought of going up there to run along the boardwalk but as it’s an hour’s drive from here, it’s a bit indulgent. I’m of two minds. On the one hand, it’d be interesting to run it well and see what I can do after around 4 weeks of not much running. On the other, I think it’d be great to have a leisurely run and appreciate the scenery. Mind you, running it well might be the same as running it leisurely, LOL. Hubby and the kidlets are doing the 3k run. It’ll be a really early start to the day, and it’s been quite chilly, so will be hard to get out of bed.

Hubby has just pointed out a fun run on Sunday too around the University that allows you to run with your dog!! Very proactive, and if I hadn’t already entered at Caloundra, I’d be inclined to enter there with Guinness, just to support them in allowing dogs. I still fancy organising a fun run for dogs and owners, but am up to my eyeballs in lots of other dribs and drabs at the moment. Maybe later in the year.
