I’ve just returned from a four day trip to the Mornington Peninsula in southern Victoria, with some of the guys from the Tour de Bois – Ironbark, Jeff, Quinny, Diesel, and Sir James. Fishing, golf, and cycling were interspersed with visits to the local wineries, ensuring an enjoyable and memorable time was had by all. And, of course, I ran each day, but I didn’t really need to tell you that.

For those who would still like to follow runners who are circumnavigating the globe, remember to log on to Tony Mangan’s site (www.theworldjog.com) and Kevin Carr’s Hard Way Round Facebook site.

I will pretty soon be announcing my next major running challenge, but I need to wait on confirmation of a couple of things. It shouldn’t be too far off, though – hopefully next week some time.
