More time off running waiting for blisters to heal, still not completely repaired. A couple of new parkruns over the Easter and Anzac day period - Euro and Mansfield both unique courses. Finished first in both due to other people going the wrong way, but might have caught up anyway.
Managed to also survive a 10km race at Princes Park. Another standard time in the high 38 minutes, but has a couple of hills that add a small challenge. Have got the Puffing Billy race coming up next, but have not been able to do a lot of hill training, afterwards will need to try and do some serious training towards the Gold Coast half marathon.

| Race day. |
Both trips were just overnight so won't write a separate post. Euroa was basically an out and back. Stayed a little longer is Mansfield, went for a run along the rail trail the first day, the went to the (mostly) free range zoo the next day. It's good that the animals aren't all caged, but they are a bit too enthusiastic when they realise you have a bucket of food for them.

No biking.
Nothing much for shares, try to spend $5000 on capital raising but was oversubscribed so only ended up at about $1000.
The NCAA tournament finished and the NBA playoffs started, the first round was not very interesting other than the Nuggets vs. Spurs and the Warriors struggling more than they should. Have just been watching the last half or last quarter sometimes.
Some small updates on the to do list:
- August holiday - will need to start planning soon
- Garmin 935 multi-sport watch - will start using after the Garmin 220 reaches 10,000 km
- Razer Cynosa Chroma keyboard - trying out a quiet gaming keyboard at home, good so far
- Running schedule - as above, have trimmed the running schedule
Found out with short notice my work project was ending after April, so will be waiting around at the office for a while for the next project probably. Hoping it doesn't take too long so I can plan some travel around it.
That's it for this month.
