So, its been a while...
...longer than a month in fact. Naughty Wobbly!! *slaps wrist*
Its my blog though and I have concluded I dont need to apologise for my absence except to those people who have e-mailed me wondering if I was okay.
Since posting last I have been doing such exciting things as riding my bike and painting the exterior of the house. Posting about painting a house I have concluded is about as interesting as watching the paint dry so enough of that!
Riding my bike while fun and providing some challenges (particularly for my rear end) on the long rides is well again just not that interesting. It's about 20 something days until I can run again. My legs and back feel great and my desire to run is stronger than ever. I will need to be patient while easing myself back into it. I have worked out I need to run 150 kms (92 miles) in December to be able to contemplate the Canberra Marathon again in April '07 then maybe (just maybe) an overseas marathon in Oct) Is that an unreasonable ask given my 4 month long lay-off? Holly (our ever happy lab) desperately needs to run again too. She actually was a very lean and muscle bound lab but now she is more the traditional shaped (barrel shaped) lab . She hates it when I go out on my bike and leave her at home. :(
Anyway, enough navel gazing for one day! At least I have posted something right? Oh, and thanks for stopping by my blog - it's great to see you!

Good to see you back Wobbly, I was starting to get a little worried :)
Canberra sounds like a good plan, heaps of CR and bloggers to keep you company!
It was a nice suprise to find an update on your blog. Look after yourself, hope the training goes well for Canberra :-)
mate - still off the road and already making marathon plans! That's the sort of commitment a pure runner would show.
Hey, and who says that details of the riding would be boring?!?
I didn't spot 'Wobbly' in the obituaries so I presumed you were okay.
No, doesn't look unreasonable to me.
Poor Holly!
We missed you Wob. Looking forward to seeing you soon
Good to see you too Wobbles - hope ya bum is ok with all that riding ;-)
It's a good thing I am one of the few who got an email. Shit! I thought you were dead!! :-)
I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you! So good to hear you are well and keen to get back to running. I was in Melbourne for work this week andmanaged to get in 2 runs around Albert Park lake (we were staying across the road) and a quick visit to Kokoblack in Lygon St (unfortunately it was so busy we couldn't get a table and just had to be happy with buying up the contents of the shop!)
WB Wob
CU soon
Glad you're back - I was worried about you. 92 miles per month seems ok as a comeback, but it very much depends on your previous mileage. I reckon you should be ok.
Good to see the countdown back to running Wobbly. Hope you find the legs all brand new again. Even just backing off to an average of 30 kms/wk over the last 6 weeks has worked well for me - no niggles!
20 days and counting. I'm looking forward to reading all about it! :-)
Gnome
I was starting to think you had been whisked away by all those Hell Ride bikers, never to be seen again!
Welcome back :-)
hey wobbly, good to hear ya back,
i'm aiming for canberra next year as well. you should be ok, as long as you don't over do it.
Hey Wobbly...good to see you blogging.
We missed you, glad you are back. Now I look forward for great running news!
WoW! I wish I could share that plan! You will make it.
It is been a huge time with out running, I bet you will enjoy it a lot!!
It is getting closer, closer, closer!
Thanks for your comments, I won't stop writing anymore, will you?
Hello Wobbly! Hello Holly! Good to hear from you both again!
You will have to change your name to Lance :-) I hope your out and about running soon :-)
