Thursday night was a HUGE night up here in the mountains.  Kip got back from Denver and we hit up the town.  Subsequently, I did pretty much nothing all day other than feel terrible (I didin’t spew but perhaps I would have felt better if I did).

My English friends left on Thursday as well and they are pretty much the last house guests for the winter.  Kip and I have decided to change things a little around the house.

First off…. I’m going to run a marathon in June/July.  As I’m not sure where I’m going to be living then I’m not sure which one yet but the Gold Coast Marathon is in early June, the Christchurch Marathon is at the end of May and there is a Macleay River Marathon (on the coast north from Sydney) in June.

It isn’t a hell of a lot of time to train for a marathon but I have been running a bit and I’m hoping that the thinner air here at over 9,000 feet will be of benefit.

Secondly…. Kip and I have no alcohol in the house.  This is a first ever and we are going to try and have no grog in the house for 2 weeks.  If the couple from Denver come up for some naughty hottub action then that will be an obvious exception.

Wish me luck boys.
