Earth to CJ........

No, I have not been sucked up by any spaceships for testing by aliens; I have not fallen off the face of the earth; I have not given up all of my earthly possession and sworn a vow of poverty; I have not gone into self-imposed exile due to over consumption of chocolate; but I have been very very busy! And not having internet access at home also makes it difficult to update my blog.

So rather than bore you to tears with what I have been up to since god knows when, here is a brief update of the life of CJ:

Hey! Glad to hear form you :-) Sounds like you are back into things. I have a few probs with my pelvis and back... I felt great for 2 weeks after Canberra and then pain. So I am benched, hopefully not too much longer. Are you going to aim for Sydney marathon?

With your dtermination, the 3kg will be shed easily and you'll be back to a trim taut and terrific CJ.
