It’s been almost six weeks since my last post. I did well in Week 31 with a good 15km run at the end of that week, then a spin class and a short run. Then it all went pear shaped…

My ITB was playing up, but that is no excuse. I chose to rest it for the rest of that week, and then had a wedding - Kerry & Carlo’s - on Sunday August 31. No running that day, the day of City to Surf, because the wedding started at 10am. I was disappointed about missing the run - it is one of the great runs, but the wedding was AMAZING  and so much fun. Great big italian wedding with so much food and great wine it was ridiculous. It finished at 9pm but could have gone much longer!

The following Friday was the begining of my 40th birthday celebrations which I will post separately. Not really a run topic! I didn’t run at all that next week, and not during that weekend either. Then this week I did 5km on Thursday which hurt like crazy, and 7km today which went well.

All of this spells disaster for the Fremantle Half. There is no way I can pull myself together for next weekend, so I will head towards the John Gilmour 10km Track when I get back from Bali (family holiday) and Greece (work conference).
