XCR08 ends, Term 3 ends...time to chill and regroup!

The term's over - YAY!! No more children to deal with day-to-day for another two weeks - YAY!! Geelong beat the Bulldogs - BOO!! Still injured but survived the Tan run - BOOYAY!!

After some sage words from Dave T after I carried on like a girly-man (basically said HTFU and stop your carry-on, all with a laugh through!) about my back/cockyx injury, I made it to the Tan relays and thankfully was not running first, but the pressure of running last was somewhat eased by some really good runs by the previous four runners, and my 13:14, which, under the curcumstances was OK, but 30 seconds below what I'd run healthy and in peak nick. The team gets promoted to Div 2, and will need vast improvement from the mid-tier runners plus the young guns running U20's to step up and compete with the oldies.

A few drinks last night with Clare, Dave S, Dave's mate Lucas, Dave T & Nicole really capped off a good day (Clare and I even saw Leigh Matthews, though he pretended not to recognise us!). A massage and 14kms + gym were today's order, no real difficulties with the back to speak of.

Bring on holidays, fitness and training!!!
