the waiting is over

A short post again today, as you might imagine I have a couple of things to do.
Team JH has a new member as of about 12:15am this morning. However, I don’t imagine Matilda will be up to much in the way of running for a while, as she’s only about 50cm long and tends [...]

old wives

When last we spoke I was all of a tizz, frantically rushing around the house in an effort to remember all the tiny little things one brings to the hospital. I had barely enough time to post a well-crafted sentence or two, before rushing, maternity ward-bound, to greet the new arrival.
Or so I thought…
It was [...]

shortest post ever

There’s a chance all the waiting around is finally over. Will post more, hopefully soon. Cross fingers.

more sighs

Ah, woe is me! I tell you: by the amount of twiddling of anguished thumbs in my house at present, we’re all in serious danger of developing RSI.

1. Miley Cyrus: I hadn’t heard of her until last Sunday, but apparently she’s the phenomenally successful star of [...]

I’ll let you go

Is there a more dishonest thing to say than this:
I’ll let you go
It’s usually used towards the end of phone calls, but also used at about the point when you’re about to get fired. In that case, it’s usually more like “I’ll have to let you go”, said in regretful tones.
Either way, it’s pretty insincere. [...]

any minute now

Last year was a bit of a super-running year for me. Over 3,200 kilometres covered in training, two marathons, a PB in the half and two in the full. All good stuff.
This year is a fair bit more laid back. I ran the 30km Maroondah Dam run earlier in the year, the Run for the [...]
