A good start to running this year has come to an end already. First was some weird ankle muscle injury, which then transitioned to heel soreness, and I've been out for about three weeks so far. The worst part of the injury is missing out on more races again this year - Run The Rock and Sri Chinmoy Princes Park already so far. In between injury phase I just managed to fit in a new park run at Sale over Easter, as well as some solo course runes at Newborough (Moe) and Traralgon on the way there. Those PB goals might be difficult now.
All of my interim share dividends have come through, now I have to wait another five months for any more. I had another spectacular failure with my Reject Shop project instead almost halving in value. As an experiment I paid for a monthly subscription for a share market advice site, but there's barely any content so I will be cancelling that soon - some free sites have better daily information and opinions. I also sent in a form to ANZ to enable global shares trading, not sure if I will participate due to the fees involved but it's good to have the option. I did a little bit of trading in the month also, sold one company and bought three.
It's quite a busy time of year in sports at the moment. I went to my first AFL game for the year, Carlton vs Melbourne - close for three quarters for Carlton lost as expected. The NCAA final four was a disappointing failure to a pretty average tournament overall. I paid for the NBA League Pass for the playoffs, so far it's been fairly predictable in the first round.
I haven't been to any comedy festival shows for a few years but when to two this year.

I'm still very busy at work trying to meet development deadlines. Incredibly people were asked to work on Anzac Day but it was optional in the end.
That's it for this month.
