Invictus

This week was supposed to be week 2 of my training schedule but I am still badly under the weather and was just happy (not) to be back at work. Bloody cough is still not gone and I am lost on how to get rid of this messy European cold. My feet are so itchy to get out and hit the road it is not funny anymore.

Last night we had a great evening at the Ritz Cinema in Randwick and enjoyed a great movie from Clint Eastwood starring an excellent Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman - 'Invictus', an inspiring story. Thanks to generous support of all attending I was able to transfer close to $1000 to The Fred Hollows Foundation and another 40 needlessly blind people will be able to see again!

So two more days of hot tea with lemon and then I really hope I can put those new Nike runners on Monday morning to go for a jog.

European Winter

I knew I should have dressed warmer or was it not enough Mulled Wine?? I am still recovering from a bad, very bad cold and chest infection - coughed my lungs out lately. So, needless to say that training for 2010 has not even started yet and I am getting itchy feet. Hopefully be mid-January this bug is gone and I can put my new Nike runners on (If you into running shoes, London is the place - almost half of the cheapest shop in Sydney).

Anyway, just before I left for Europe I booked a movie night at the Ritz in Randwick and I hope that you may come and join us to watch the latest Clint Eastwood flick called 'Invictus' - a movie based on the true story of Nelson Mandela's efforts to unite his country after the dark years of apartheid.

Please come Friday, 22 January 2010 from 8.30pm to the Ritz bar to join us for a drink and movie in support of The Fred Hollows Foundation. Check my website for more details (www.run4vision.com)

See you at the movie
