Well its been a while, and to be honest I'm not to sure if I really am back. What I do know is that I've spent the last six months sitting around getting my energy and motivation back and importantly healing up from a couple of consistantly niggling aches and pains.
So "where are things at?" I hear you say.
I have no plans beyond getting out and slowly getting some fitness back. Next year may see a half marathon and potentially a 50k off road ultra but nothing to serious I'm afraid on account of an expanding family. As for right now, I'm simply turning the legs over and stretching things out. Without boring you with the details I started running at a 5 min 30 sec per k pace at the start of the week, and have dropped that down to a 5 min flat per k pace now that we're almost at the end of the week. My heart rate, however is way to high and its all just that little bit harder than it was six months ago (no 40k training runs happening this weekend!!).
So am I back? ... We'll have to wait and see ...

Good to have you 'back' ... is the Tarawera Ultra on the cards???
The Tarawera Ultra is certainly on the cards ... its just that that particular deck has been filed away for the time being. Don't over look the fact that that run is 50 MILES, the run that I'm eyeing up is a rather low key local 50k ultra. Just how key is "low key" I hear you say ... well the enterence fee is $20 (I think) and there's a grand total of 1 aid station on course (serving water only), definitely my kind of race!
Welcome back!
