22 or 4 Weeks to go...

Depending on which event is being focused on; it's either 22 weeks to go until City to Surf (entries open on 5th June so I intend to get mine in straight away in order to increase my chances of starting in Group B and therefore having less chance of being held up by 3 wheeled prams and blokes dressed as Santa / Dinosaurs etc), or it's 4 weeks to go until Lian's birthday and the deadline for the Cubby House to be completed.

Both projects are on programme.

Now that we've finally figured out what all the pieces of wood are for, and we've identified a few additional pieces to increase strength / improve aesthetics - progress is going very well. All wall and veranda frames are complete with gable sections fitted, the elevation kit is assembled, the floor frame is assembled and 40% of floor boards are installed.

This week I intend to dig the post holes (I've procured a fancy new post hole spade) and complete the floor boards (need to buy some more screws) so that we can get the elevation kit with stirrups attached, cast into anchoring concrete this weekend.

As for the training, well the above provided good strength / stretching cross-training over the weekend and I was back into a run this morning. 4km in 20 minutes, with warm-up / cool-down and some stretching.

Should be on for squash on Wednesday, so a busy week ahead.

All's well on Planet Parkes!
