Back on track

My first post since Gold Coast. Things have not gone well since then or else I would have posted earlier.

Technology has been taking its revenge on me and in a concerted push has seem our digital camera , printer, two televisions and home computer all give up the ghost recently. So I have been without Net access from home for most of the last two weeks.

How do you interpret the beep codes from your motherboard when it fails and the manual tells you to go the web address? Just six months ago I had two home PCs, mine and one for the rest. Mine died at Christmas and I haven't resurrected it yet. The other computer died soon after getting back from the Gold Coast and after much hassle I have got it working again with a new hard drive. Luckioy I got to rescue most of the data on the old one. Also there has been 2 matches of Asian Cup football to watch each night, so fixing the computer has been somewhat of a background task.

So I have a lot of catching up to do.

As for recovery from the GC, my biggest problem was the toe nail on my right second toe. It won't go black because I did the poke the needle in to drain the blood trick on it but it was still sore the first week each time I went for even an easy run. But it is OK now, and I guess it is 50/50 if it will shed completely.

Still over the moon about the marathon result and really excited about next year. Wish I could say the same about the Socceroos performance so far.
