Well, sticking true to the blog title (click is a local reference for a kilometer and 42 is roughly the number of clicks in a marathon), I've entered the Sydney marathon and have also started training. It's the morning runs where I wish that I didn't stop running in the first place. The hardest part by far is having to start from scratch again.
The marathon isn't till mid september which is good because for once, I'll be able to train through winter and not have to deal with sub freezing temperatures or 100 plus degree days. It should be perfect running weather (at least that's what I'm hoping for).
What's also great about the time is that I'll be able to do the Sydney to Surf in early August. It sounds like this is just one big ole party. Similar to the Bay to Breakers in SF, people by the tens of thousands (maybe 60,000 last year) run from Sydney to Bondi mostly along the coast. It's a 14k so hopefully this will tie in with a weekend run and I won't have to do a there and back. No one in the office seems to keen on running, so hopefully I'll be able to find a running group to do it with.
Not much else new here. Spent the weekend furniture shopping (sucks) and trying to shore up some Aussie credit so I don't have to pay a 3% fee on top of a bad exchange rate. Here's hoping I have a bed at the bare minimum the weekend I move in.
