Lack of running

I forgot to mention my foot problems. My right foot is playing, plantar facisitis (spelling?) is back making it difficult to walk never mind run. I stopped using my orthotics over a year ago and I refuse to start using them again. I was born without orthotics and believe it has been shoe wearing that has caused the problem so I am committed to treating it there are lots of exercises to help it. The best one is using a ball or a an object that rolls and you roll it with the sole of the affected foot it serves to massage the planter ligament and breaks up scar tissue. I have a small piece of tree branch and a also a smaller diameter object which is fatter in the middle designed for foot massage that I use.

Training and stuff

Not such a good training week again. Monday I was waiting in all day to talk to estate agents, etc. Then I had Cameron off sick Wednesday and Thursday. On Sunday were I have been cycling around 28 miles and enjoying it on flat roads was ruined today by a peice of glass. Only 5miles in I hit a big piece of broken bottle and it punctured both tyres . I only had one inner tube with me so I had to get Teresa to rescue me. And it wrecked my rear tyre which was a newish specialized armadillo at $60 which are very good puncture resistant tyres.

So I got home and did a set of Tabatha sprints on the turbo which is what I normally do mid week. Then went to the farmers market - Esk Hill pork produce really thick bacon and other delicious treats from well looked after pigs.


House wise we offered 280 000 for the coote rd house and they settled for 285 000 they or originally wanted 300 000+. So it was good for us but we haven't had an offer on ours yet although we've had plenty of viewers. I had to dive out three times last week so somebody could look at it which in some ways is a pain because I have a lot of work on in fact I'm fully booked till August.

House update

We've been very busy getting the house ready to sell. We`are doing it as quick as we can see it online here and we've put an offer on a property in Napier on Coote Rd see here and on Google maps
View Larger Map at the bottom of Napier Hill opposite Napier Prison which is now a tourist attraction and backpackers hostel. It is near the seafront and needs a lot of renovating which makes it affordable.

I'm back

Training
Had a week off training. Started back with a little bit and than this week I felt sick and tired again. I'm going to try again this weekend.

Business
is going well my ericksen honda revamp has been really well received , although another made me fed up because I've got to spoil my design because they are too lazy sort their content. However they are providing a couple of more jobs so I'll just think about the bottom line and remove my name from the website.

Other Business News

Stopped teaching completely.

Other News

We've decided to sell the house and move before the end of the year. We were going to buy a lifestyle block but we've decided to buy in Napier as close as we can to Napier Central where Teresa teaches and the children go to school. This we decided but give Teresa and the children more`time at home and if we can get close enough they can all walk to school saving us money especially as petrol is getting more and more expensive. Napier Hill is more expensive so we will have a smaller house and garden.

Racing News

I was going to race the big olympic distance races and local races but because of the cost of transport and accommodation and wanting to buy our new house every penny will count so I've decided to just do the local sprint races again and maybe the national sprint championships.
