Day Before Race Day --- I've done all the Dumb Things

Yep -- It's a little bit crazy to be running a half marathon at all, with everything on my plate ---- much less 1 month after getting blown up at Hordern --- But -- "I've done all the dumb things"  (more on that later in my next post --  I realize that I haven't written at all about Hordern in the  Blog -- yet ?!?)

Well, in any case,  It's On for Young and Old -- Tomorrow!

I just got my Bib -- Look at the Number:
356

That's gotta be a lucky number -- because Deirdre ( The Girl I don't take Quantam Mechanics with) says it "sums to a number that can be expressed as a product of primes!!


Anyway the course is beautiful. Lake Burley Griffin and The Parliament House are great spots, and we run across Galliopli Reach under the Anzac Mermorial, but we pass this one simple monument that always speeds me up in training.




 It may be a little hokey ...but I've become a tad more sensitive to concepts like this since Hordren Pavillion 
and the loss of Tawakkol, and when I run by this monument I feel like They are running with me and I go into a sprint -- It's fantastic feeling !

  1. Good luck on the race mate. I am sure you will waltz across the finish line like Matilda. Don't let any of those Shelia's beat you. You can Do this.
