I had a bad month of running after several solid months. It started with a small blister underneath my foot after a training session on the athletics track - possibly due to going around in circles, the shoes, or both. The following weekend I still managed to set a PB for five kilometres and might have just beaten my 18 minute goal - depending on the accuracy of Garmin and the park run course...
The rest of the month I kept taking a day or two off, then returned to running too soon and making the blister worse. After a four day break I thought I was ready for Run The Rock, but at the conclusion of the event the problem became worse than ever and resulted in at least a week off running. I was planning to do Run 4 The Kids on the first weekend of April but had to abandon that plan due to the blisters - and also because the fast running group had sold out.
No biking, but might need to investigate if the foot problems continue...
No major activity in shares, a bit of a quiet period after the results period, but the dividends have started coming in!
I went to game two of the NBL Finals with Melbourne United beating Perth, made a good decision not to go to game four as they proceeded to lose the championship at home 3-1. The NCAA March Madness tournament started later in the month, probably the least exciting early rounds for a while, but got better afterwards as all the top teams were still remaining - except Kansas lost early this year.
From the to do list:
- Car
- I thought some car problems were going to be a major expense, but turned out to be nothing!
- So my plans to get a new car aren't as urgent now, but still have set a target for this year
- Holiday
- Should start planning a mid year holiday soon, before the costs increase too much
- Running
- Have decided not to do the Cairns half marathon either, due to a lack of training
- Now need to make some adjustments to the schedule, try to add another half marathon such as Gold Coast
Must be almost finishing my work project now, had to work on a public holiday but avoided some weekend work!
That's it for this month.
