Annette's Golden Week

quote of the week: The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. -- Pierre de Courbertin

My training progress
last week's target: 100k, actual 65k
this week’s target: 100k
weight: 63.5kg and falling. maybe. possibly.

Not the best week, the niggles won so 100k didn't happen, I pulled out of the BBQ Stakes run after 600m with calf pain but immediate treatment worked. An average 3000m on Thursday, days off Friday and Saturday, a "very average" Vets Handicap on Sunday. Poised to get back into it this week if the heat wave doesn't intervene?

song of the week: Nothing In My Way - Keane, from Under The Iron Sea.

“It seems to me that you're having such a nice time”

advantage!

FOOTNOTES

1. It was Annette's week - a member of the Australian record 4x800m team on Thursday, then winning the monthly handicap on Sunday. She will get faster, too!

2. Monday training is definitely on - although I may not be there for a Monday or two, being very busy at present. Trevor will take care of things.

3. I will re-start Saturday morning training at Aranda first week in January. And possibly 30 December? If you can make it then, let me know.
