Injury Update

Well I think I have finally recovered from my Injury of ITBFS - that's illiotibital band friction syndrome. Very common in distance runners. Very painful on the outside of the knee.

I did 21.5km on Saturday over some pretty harsh hills, but the scenery was lovely and took you mind off things.

Had to turn up at 4am to a fun run in Ipswich. It was their first half marathon and I was the finish line marshall. Very exciting and I love getting paid to do anything with running. I don't actually get paid - but they give me free shoes/running gear which is much better :)
Allan and the kids came and watched for a few hours then headed home.

Allan had a medical yesterday. Fit as a fiddle!! He is off for a deep sea fishing trip this Saturday leaving from Sunshine Coast so he has been stocking up on Quells in preparation.

I did a 3km Time Trial this morning with my coach and team. Very hard as I am coming back from injury but satisfying none the less. My new team mate is Anna Bligh - Queenslands's Deputy Premier. So it was good to run along with her and feel 'at one' with the politicians. She was the last one out there so our guys went out to run the last km with her and it looked sensational - all of us at the finish line and her running surrounded by about 8 sweaty men urging her on. If only I had my camera!!!

Got news I am off to Perth in two weeks. Final dates should be through by Thursday so will let you all know. Monica warm those fires!!!

Rosie - hurry up and blog. I am waiting to see how the injury is going.
