Ends in Edinburgh

A rather interesting week so far - Induction training day with AXA, physio & training, scooting through the traffic while riding to and from work, and finally Charity moving to Edinburgh.
I’m currently typing this, or make that was as I’ll have finished if you’re reading this, on the Fast-train to Edinburgh. Not much to see out the window even though I have a window seat as it’s currently around 8pm... At least with free Wi-Fi I can catch up on things like the blog and check some emails - only 124 to read!!

Well, AXA were at it again with their training days - an interesting day, and never a dull moment. Excellent for an induction programme. If only the ones in Melbourne could have been as good! Maybe it’s just CGU...

Marathon training is progressing fairly well. Not pushing things while going through physio, but still heading back towards the original plan. I should be back to full training after the Reading Half Marathon on March 2nd. At least the mornings are getting lighter earlier, I just wish they could be a bit warmer! Single figure temperatures just aren’t right. Mad dogs n Englishmen may go out in the midday sun, but it looks like I’m the only dopey bugger going out in 2C!! Must admit that I do like running through the spooky mist/fog.

Don’t forget that if you haven’t donated/sponsored me yet check out http://www.justgiving.com/aussierunner and you can do this. And THANKS!! to those who have already donated! I’ve now reached the £300 mark, with another £60 (bloody exchange rate!) yet to be recorded from the group of folks that gave Mum n Dad some dosh for me - Thanks to you ALL!!
Only another £1150 to go!! (although I should be able to get the £150 out of AXA in a fundraising matching deal (£150 max.).

Next stop... Edinburgh (okay, it’s actually Newcastle-on-Tyne, which is what the picture is of)
