Some random stuff:

My training for the Gold Coast half marathon is going ok. My knees and feet are going ok. Knees slightly sore, but I think that this is ok. There's no pain (unlike training for Brisbane half marathon) - due to fixed up legs and innersoles. But as of just after this afternoons run - my back is a bit iffy... I'm hopefully for my knees - doing lots of stretching and there's no discomfort after running. Need to stretch quads as well as all my stretches from the physio.

I have a new pair of shorts for running. My 1992 vintage highschool PE shorts have been chucked out. I need to get a new watch (for timing during exercise). Previous one died a while back. The Big W at Chermside has a self service checkout which is kind of different. I paid credit card, signed on an electronic pad thing. Missed a trick though, I could have just put my PIN in instead, which I'm going to start doing (instead of signature).

I was in at work on Saturday and earlier today as well... cough.

It was good fun (as expected) hanging out with E. on Saturday night, drinking at a couple of cool places I hadn't been to. Although I had a slight issue getting back - I slept on the train and missed my station... an extra 25 minute walk at 1am. Nice.

I got a DVD burner, and installed the Nero 7 stuff. I shouldn't have done the default settings: there was a great deal of junk that came along with it. After uninstalling it all, I put back on just the burning part of the software (no media file management, TV stuff, etc, etc).
