I have done lots of running since my last post. I also noticed that my last post was inadvertently incorrect in that one part of te entry went missing. There was additional run in the Barossa Valley, in Tunenda.

Run for the Kids

Unfortunately I missed the chance to enrol for the Run for the Kids. It is a bit of a disappointment because I was looking to catch up with other people there. However I will continue with my training and, I must say, I am very pleased that the additional Monoday evening run is going well. So in all, I am having four sessions per week – it is a bit unbalanced in that I do most of my running at the beginning of the week – this is the best I can do timewise.

Sunday Run

I was completely delighted with yesterday’s run which netted 17kms. This was not planned to happen that way. The original plan was to depart from Brighton Baths to Sandringham but at the insistence of one person we departed from Elwood, then this person texted me at midnight to say sorry I wont be running in the morning. Pardon me but I cannot express my frustration how petty people are sometimes. Calling things off at last minute after insisting on changes are not very pleasant things to do!!!!

Running blog

This running blog has become a bit of a casualty in recent weeks.I have not maintained too well since I have been focusing my little spare time in researching and making copious notes of my time growing up during those years of conflict. I have progressively tried to reconstruct events that occurred between the years 1976-1982. Then I am trying to reconstruct as much of daily activity that occurred from March 1982 to September 1982.

This is one of the biggest challenges I have ever handled. What I have started doing is maintaining a journal of the research/method process.

In a separate note but related to thi story is last night by accident I came across via a website the manuals used by the military in the Schools of the Americas (Panama Canal) to train military personnel in counter insurgency and fight the urban guerrillas in Central America in the 1980s.

That's life folks.
