Quick note


Still here. Still very busy

Running is going well. Short runs in the softstar 2mm runamocs at 6am 3x a week. Really concentrateing on posture, form and technique. It is working - at children's hockey today I was barefoot and had to run back to the car over a mixture of concrete, asphalt and grass. It was fantastic and easy and comfortable , it was my longest completely barefoot run

Spent the morning at Hockey the mini-sticks, Cameron's team which I help coach are doing well winning their third match out of four this term 8 -2 and Cameron scored. Last week they played the the best team in the tournament for the third time and lost 10 goals to 5 but to put this into some sort of context, in their first meeting we lost 15 - 0, second game 7 - 0 so we are really pleased with progress. we face the second best team next week.
Emily has started playing and after very little practice with the team. In her first match she only touched the ball once and she knocked it out. Today in her second match she really contributed and help set up one of the goals. She is really starting to get used to the speed of the game. The rest of the team have played about 12 games. They won their game 5 - 3 only their second win (5 - 0 the other one) both wins were with Emily playing.

What I've been doing...

I was just about to do a spot of work when the feeling that I had abandoned the blog a bit too long hit me and all work and no play makes me grumpy.. Been the busiest time for business, I seem to be churning out design after design(my best work) implementing more elements of html5, css3, re-designed my content management system. I didn't enjoy it so much over the recent school holidays and because I was doing the last 5% on a larger project which I always find tough.

I am reading Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte the next challenge how to design websites for screens that are getting larger and handheld screens that are getting smaller. Re-reading Good Calories, Bad Calories. Reading Vol2 of The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade

My ankles have been great especially my troublesome right ankle. I started to do some short jogs/drills 5 days in a row. But I developed a tender spot in a new spot on my left ankle bone, so despite feeling like I went to everyday and everywhere, I'm taking the sensible option and let it come right. I also had to to massage my plantar ligament with a ball because after jogging it tightened up because it still isn't quite strong enough yet.
