No running I can tell you that. I tried out a few short runs last month but still didn't feel I was well enough over my injuries. I don't feel like I'm missing out on much as it's still the middle of winter here and very wet, certainly not nice weather for running (though I know you folk in North America put up with a lot worse in your winters!). So my aim is to stay away from any impact training until at least spring and build back up to some distance running for our summer.
It's been a busy month at home too with Michelle's parents staying with us for a month while they renovate there property having now returned home from their nine month tour of North America. We also had my mother staying for two weeks over the school holidays. It all made for a very full and often entertaining household. Some might think that a month of your in laws staying is enough to drive anyone crazy, but we all get on okay so it was all good. It helps that Jan is a great in kitchen and Bruce (yes another Bruce!) acts as a punching bag for the boys.
Here's a photo of them and the kids from when we were in Vancouver recently.
The other milestone in the household this month was Sam's 5th birthday party. With both boys now being at school it's like we're moving on as a family ahead into a new stage of our lives , leaving the pre school days behind us. Sam has taken to school really well and had been literally counting down the days until he could join his big brother each day. It's also a big challenge ahead for Michelle. Having put her Legal Exec career on hold seven years ago to stay at home with the boys, she is now going to be looking to re enter the work force on a part time basis.
Until next time, happy running.
