Back In The Saddle

Today Total: 8kms
Week Total: 15.5kms
Month Total: 42kms
Year Total: 42kms

Well I've been back at it (finally).

2010 was a massive year with lots happening - some good, some bad.

Lowlights included:

- Mum having a mild stroke in January and a string of incidents since culminating in her collapsing while in hospital in December and stopping breathing - fortunately the crash team revived her but she has had to give up her home where she lived for 47 years and move into a nursing home.

- Missing out on the CEO's job at work after 16 years of blood, sweat & tears.

- Miscellaneous Halfpenny issues requiring heaps of time and emotional (and financial) effort.

Highlights included:

- Seeing Mum happy and relatively well(ish) in the nursing home - she really has an amazingly positive attitude to life and has taken her new reality and the selling of the house in her walker assisted stride!

- Getting a CEO job in another organisation :)

- Got the HP through a Cert IV in Performing Arts at Brent Street

Anyhoo enough of This Is Your Life and back to running..... I've been doing some walk/runs since the New Year started but today I did moe of a run/walk - 8k in just on 58 minutes - so just over 7 minute pace.

The left of the Evil Twins is giving me a bit of gyp tonight - but otherwise all good :)

I wondered where you'd got to. Thought you might have been hiding under a rock down in the Megalong Valley... or taken up mountain climbing in lieu of running.
