City2Surf 2008
Ran this again this year, third time around now. Had to do this as a ‘training run’, so the time that I would have like (80 minutes or less) turned into the time that I had to get (around 86-88 minutes, but still with plenty of energy when i’ve finished the race).
The item that gets me is that I have now to start training for a marathon which means that 20+k runs (ie half marathon and longer) are now supposed to be ‘normal’ runs, and anything at the 30k+ mark are now ‘long’ runs.
Anyway… Weather was perfect (great temperature, very slight breeze), as always I got overtaken by a thousand old guys and generally had a lot of fun. Washed the days activities down with one beer and a couple of rum and cokes (disappointing, usually we’d drink a case, guess i’m getting old).
In other news i’m off to the UK again in a few weeks to save the world (again), I went on a spending binge this weekend (got myself a $500 Myer voucher which we spent in one session… I now have Blue iPod nano, making us a 4-iPod household.. ), bought more DVD’s (Weed’s Season 2, here I come!) and a flashy new Apple keyboard (unlike reguar keyboards, this one rocks…. but of course because it’s apple it costs $70!)
Anyway, that’s all I have for now.
Ok… few more things:
1. I’ve only seen my goddaughter once and I think i’m about to be expelled as godfather
2. I miss my nephew dearly, and he’s started walking so i’m desperate to get up and see him!
3. I want to go back to Brisbane and hang out there for a while, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon
4. Really, that’s all i’ve got.
Oh…. and Lucy is quitting smoking… fun times ahead for me

Hey shut up, don’t make fun of my self-imposed withdrawal foul moods!
Besides, there’s been no yelling yet has there?
