Me of course!!
The last few weeks have been very busy. I have a new role at work which means I no longer have to sit in a car all day long. The down side is I am on my feet all day instead. Of well, some you win some you lose right? Still, a change is as good as a holiday and I am enjoying it.
From a running point of view things have not progressed at all. I have had 2 very ordinary races and a week off with some calf soreness. The calf was fine after a few days but as work was busy I took a whole week off just to be sure.
Last Sunday saw the inaugural running of the "Run the Ridge" fun run at Tamar Ridge Winery just outside Launceston. 10km all within a Winery. The course was awesome. All off road on grass and dirt roads weaving in and out of the grapevines. Magnificent. Next time however I will drink more fluid in the days leading up to the race. When you're standing on the start line feeling thirsty, and the temp is in the low 20's, its gunna be a very long day!
I backed up last night and ran a 3000m at Interclub and decided the only thing to do was go balls to the wall from the gun. First km was quick, the next 2........ not so quick! Still, its all part of growing up. I did however manage to finish 2nd overall, so I guess theres some consolation. Did I mention there were only 6 in the race?????? I will say that I beat Kim Gillard though, even if he was just pacing a junior!!!!! Sorry dude, but I guess a win is a win ;-)
Kim was telling me during our cool down run about an incident at Falls Creek a couple of years back involving a dead snake in the bed of a certain star middle distance runner. No names will be mentioned but I can say that if it were my bed then I'd have been sleeping in my car!!!!
Bye for now
