Hi everyone, haven't posted for a while as I've been in Australia for five weeks.

I managed to run about twice a week while away but no great distance or speed, it was just too hot. Mr Wizzie ran Parkrun in Sydney last Saturday in 28 degrees, I just watched! Too hot for me!

It was great to run somewhere different, we had a couple of runs along a beautiful beach, and others along coastal paths with fantastic views. You needed the beautiful views to take your mind off the hills and steep steps!

I did my first home run on Thursday, it was hard! ... I'll blame it on jet lag. So I wasn't really forward to this morning's Parkrun. I was a bit slower than before I went away but I felt good so hopefully I can get back on track next week.

I dipped into the forum a few times while I was away but didn't have time to post, we seemed to be so busy everyday.

Hope you all have a good weekend. Happy running!

Usually takes me a full week to recover after that flight but that maybe age related😂😂

Thanks for that. If your username reflects your age we're the same age. So on that basis I should be feeling ok in a couple of days.
