In answer to your enquiry Liz, the running has been terrible, occasional & not enjoyable.
Running holiday to the outback starts in 2 weeks time.
The running side has been ditched, but holiday now extended from 4 to 7 weeks before a short week back home. Then 3 weeks in Tasmania in August.
Otherwise, it's a bit of mountain biking, plenty of strength & stretching in the gym and generally working on getting the hip flexor/groin strain to come right.
That's about all for the moment. Even Janene is doing more than me.

I hope you get that hip flexor/groin issue sorted out soon. Last thing any good runner needs is to have me running more than they are! :-)

At least you're out there, doing something. Hopefully it'll come good during the holiday.
Bit of a shame you couldn't have snagged last place in the handicap. 2nd-last is first of the winners.

Have never finished first or last, a record I intend to keep.

Hope the hip flexor problem is improving Two Fruits. Nice to have an adventure holiday to distract you from the pain of it all. Plus it will be warm and you'll miss most of Canberra's winter :).
