I'm Back

Well its been a while since I last updated my blog. A few things to report - I bought a house and I move in next week. A cyclone hit and I survived it and the training has been so-so.

I forgot how much it rains up here in FNQ. I swear to god since I arrived here there has maybe been one or two days when it hasn't rained. Unbelievable. The cyclone was pretty ferocious. I had been in a couple back when I grew up around here but nothing like Larry. Just around Cairns was pretty scary so I can't imagine what it was like for the people in and around Innisfail. I went for a drive to Innisfail last week and was shocked by what I saw - the town was literally in pieces. I have some photos I took of around Cairns and will load them when I am up and running in the house. I took my camera with me to Innisfail but I felt terrible taking photos - it just didn't feel right.

The training had a couple of slack weeks there - for the month of March I still managed to run 200+km's though. I did the last of the Cairns Road Runners 5km races on the 18th and managed to run 20:38 - so I finished off with a pb of 3 seconds. I also just nominated for the Sydney Half Marathon so my focus is now getting in some decent long runs before that so I can run a respectable time.

Hope everyone is well and I look forward to blogging more regularly in a week or so.
