I am now well under way with my program of exercises that I expect will cure the problem with my heel in a few weeks. It only takes about ten minutes per day to complete the exercises. It appears I have a weakness in my left leg and pelvic region, which resulted in the Achilles insertion at the heel taking a lot more strain than it should have. So far the signs are positive.

I attended a lunch on Friday with many friends from my old football club, the Warilla Gorillas. It was a fantastic afternoon and evening, catching up with old mates, some I hadn’t seen in over thirty years. I’ll be back for the club’s fifty year reunion in June.

This day a year ago I was running through mountainous country in southern France, while two years ago today I was running to the east of Los Angeles, approaching Palm Springs. I was almost lined up to appear on the Ellen Show when I ran through LA, until they realized it clashed with Justin Bieber’s 18th birthday. You can guess whose appearance got sacrificed.
