Has been a while between blog entries but had to let you know that all going well here! :-)

Training for MM continues nicely but that is now pretty much a secondary goal! Yes, I'll go out and run it and enjoy it BUT it's not what I want to do.

The running is coming along aok at the moment with a light run this week (only a 6km run).

However put in 2 days of cross training this weekend whereby the family and I did some Bush walking! :-)

Up and down hills we travelled! Had a ball!

Take care.
