I know I have been fairly lax updating the blog but I don't have as much to talk about as Reenie with her dwarfs and Bek with her baking. I've been out running to try and get ready for 2 marathons and a 210km bike ride in one year. I must be crazy to think I've got a hope of finishing all events but it's worth a go. I'll soon be sending out the sponsorship requests to try and give me more motivation to keep doing the runs. About 2 weeks ago I went out for my long Sunday run which was supposed to be 29km but I got cramps in my right calf after 24km and then had to hobble/walk home from there. That was probably the worst I've ever felt during a training run and I almost packed it in then. Since then I have still been riding to work but finding excuses to miss some training sessions. I decided to give the long run another go last Sunday and got stuck into my 32km session pictured below.
The big positive from the run is that I made it! I ran 32km without stopping (aside for traffic) and have even managed to follow it up with riding to work and 12 sets of 400m sprints. I have an 8km run to do on Friday and then a short 24km run on Sunday ;-)

32 km without stopping is quite a feat. I have stopped baking now and am back to eating properly.
Also, you have lots of interesting stuff, including your veggie patch - I hear you are rethinking the raised bed idea?
My blogs all about midgets, not dwarves! There's a difference you know ;)
32KM, WOW! well done
...and looks like a nice route along the creek and then the river.
