Sporting Update

Well it hasn't been a great couple of months of running but things are looking up.  I've been for a few runs now and haven't felt my knee at all which is great.  I've managed to find a truly excellent physiotherapist in Michael Vadiveloo at the Melbourne City Baths.  He had the pleasure of informing me that my ass was too weak and that I needed to work on my glutes in order to correct a bio-mechanical problem with my running.  I've also been working hard on my calfs, a serial pest in my attempt at running longer distances.  I've missed training with the Crosbie Crew but hope to now start getting back to the usual training sessions.

In the mean time I've found a new passion, kayaking.  I started last year but I've started to enjoy it more and more.  I kayak with Vigor Kayaking and we train on Wednesday nights, Friday mornings and Sunday mornings.  I was planning on doing the Murray Marathon but that plan has fallen through unfortunately.  Will definitely want to do that at some stage in the future.  Mean while I'll be looking for some kayak events to enter over the summer.

The cycling is also coming along nicely.  I bought a new bike a couple of weeks back and loving the new smooth ride.  The bike is about 3kg lighter than my old one so going up hill is even easier now.  The bikes maiden ride was from Sorrento to Melbourne (100km) as part of the round the bay in a day event.

Stay tuned for more updates.
