Out of service

I am currently in Vienna in Austria for another work trip and saw Ewen's message on my previous post. Thanks mate for your concern.

I have been out of action due to injury yet again. I had the incredible high of the Boston Marathon earlier in the year but the period since then has been a non event. I have had a persistent groin injury the whole year and have not been able to shake it. The injury has received noodles of rest and physio and yet it persists. A scan in mid-year did not show anything spectacular but every time I run I can feel pain and tightness to the groin. I strongly suspect it is all nerve related and wonder if I have nerve entrapment. A lot of wiring has to make its way through a narrow passage from leg to torso and I think the electronics and other engineering in that part of the world is suffering from overload.

I have run out of answers and I have to admit to feeling very down about the whole thing. I have had a few other non-running related difficulties of late as well and the less said about this year the better.

Rest heals all wounds. I shall return.

In can be very frustrating not being able to run.

If the noodles of rest aren't working, how about spending less time on wok issues ;-)

Lots of groin issues for me as well. BOne scans, ultrasounds. hip xrays and now physio is working the back side of things because the rest does not fix it and It comes on with no running - like a long drive.

All the best.

I've been wondering what you've been up to Don. Hope all the issues work themselves out soon. We miss you in Bloggsville and Facebookland :-(

Take care.

Ewen said...

Thanks Don. I start to worry when bloggers seemingly disappear off the face of the earth. Well, Vienna is still on the earth I guess! Can I borrow 1% of your frequent flier miles?

I'm sure you'll be back better than Boston once you patch up the electronics and other engineering.

Take care. At least you've had a laugh from Robert Song's comment :)

2007 has been a shocker for most of us I think - just as well it is drawing to a close, next year can only be better.

Looking forward to catching up and hearing about your latest travels. If you're back in time, Michelle and I are doing a technique session on Wednesday at 2pm which might be manageable for your injury....

Cheers
Natasha

Hope the groin starts pointing in the right direction sooner rather than later, Don.

Do you think Robert Song really meant to write "wok". It was very clever if he did.

Give my regards to Mozart.

It's great to hear from you Don..albeit not such good news. However, just to hear from you does our hearts good. Bad things do happen to good people. In the the long run..goodness wins through.

Free Proxy Servers are utilized for anonymous browsing. Most frequent utilization of free of charge proxy server is to bypass the college/place of work or any other place's safety limits and access unrestricted websites. But [url=http://scrapeboxfaq.com/where-can-i-get-scrapebox-shared-proxies ]Your Private Proxy [/url] servers really should be employed with caution. If utilized with out security steps, it can result in huge decline as in contrast to edge of searching the web anonymously. There are two approaches through which you can cover your id (your IP handle) when browsing the world wide web. Initial and the most cheap way is to use free of charge proxy server. There are many windows and linux proxy internet sites offered on the web which allows you use their companies free of charge of charge. The other option for hiding your identity is to use compensated software program. The IP hiding software, alterations your IP tackle constantly to permit you browse net anonymously.

There are few critical items you need to maintain in thoughts when employing totally free proxy servers.

one.) Watch out for your security

Do not give out any sensitive data this kind of as your login specifics or credit card data when using distinct proxy servers since when you use free of charge proxy server, all the data you offer on any website is 1st sent to free of charge proxy server and then to the site server. So all the data go by way of the free proxy server and most of the time it is unencrypted, exposing your sensitive details for potential misuse.

Paid application are considerably far better in terms of stability. There techniques are developed to conceal your IP and then discard all your information without any human involvement.

2.) Stability and Availability

There are several cost-free proxy server websites but most of them are not steady and are not accessible each and every time you check out them. This problem is not really important with paid out software program.

3.) Velocity of Searching

When you use any proxy server for hiding your IP, you can truly feel the sluggish pace of browsing instantaneously. Although there are great websites obtainable for anonymous searching but they are very hard to locate. Also, velocity is not consistent it depends mostly on load on their servers. At occasions you do get excellent searching speed but it truly is not constant. Once more, paid application for hiding IP are significantly much better at searching velocity. As they charge for their providers, they make certain that the person knowledge is far better and you do not get slow speed while searching the world wide web via their computer software.

They are also great when you uncover a high quality a single that masks your country of origin. When searching for a On-line Proxy make certain it has Java set up so you can observe films. As you can at times have your country of origin cloaked but if java does not operate it is not significantly use.
