I Shall Return

Here is my first blog since I left the USA. What have I been doing? First of all I was back at work at 6.30am on the 30th of April, which considering the plane landed at 5.30am was a bit of a rush. Since then I have been very busy taking care of work issues and have rarely got out to run. I probably have averaged about 25km a week.

But this week I have done three 10k runs and today I ran the 31k Bobbin Head Star Run with Sydney Striders. I got there late and so ran most of the way by myself. It was very peaceful. The track wound around Wahroonga before following Bobbin Head Road down to the river and the back up to Mt Colah and down to Wahroonga.

I felt fine all the way and finished in about 2.30, and some where along the way the idea took root that I have to go back to Boston. One obvious advantage is that I don't have to change the name of this blog.

So with 60k behind me this week, I am starting training for Boston again. Number one goal will be to try and run the Gold Coast marathon faster than last year. Also planning to run the Minimosmarathon on June 17th, and Woodford to Glenbrook on June 27th.
