Changes

Elin and I have a few changes coming up. Two big changes to be specific:
  1. We are having a baby in Jan (elin is now 20 weeks pregnant, the pictures of the scans are attached).

  2. We are moving up to Auckland.

About a week after telling people in the Nelson Office (where I have been based for the last 3.5 years) I was told that there was no longer the work to keep me occupied. Tonkin & Taylor have been great and have organised to transfer me to the Auckland office. Elin and I had been thinking about moving to Auckland as there is more opportunity for work and also the support of my family for Elin.

Before that news came through I had a 6 week secondment planned to Auckland, so I am currently working out of the Auckland office now. The 6 week stint ends in 2 weeks, I'm then back in Nelson for a week, then back up here pretty well permanantly.

The work has been real interesting and very challenging. I'm pretty stoked about this as it will allow me to get registered with the next few years.

As for training Ive been doing loads of running. I'm currently having a pretty cruisey month however my plan is to bust out some old Lydiard style weeks. 100 miles. I've got to about 80 miles, so not too much further to go.

Coast to Coast

The very good people at http://www.sportzhub.com/ are putting together a 3 part video of the Longest Day, Coast to Coast.

Check it out here...http://www.sportzvibes.com/vibes/

Trev looks dashing in the add at the top of the screen. He has since told me he had to put a little effort in for photographers as he wasnt feeling so chipper (he obviously came right). & yes, I am putting my hands down my pants running through the boulders. I had my drink container in there.
