A very fast marathon runner

From "Canberra Marathon news"
We have never succumbed to the well worn euphemism of "international" but each year we attract a growing number of runners from around the world. Not only do these runners enter the race, they become friends over the email and part of the Canberra Marathon group of friendly runners. 2007 is no different and we welcome runners from many countries.... USA (hi Lenny!), Canada, Estonia (g'day Eero!), Indonesia, Germany (welcome Monika & friends), Poland (cheers Tomasz), Singapore, UK and a big welcome to our group of 16 athletes travelling from Taiwan (good on'ya Dale). We welcome you all to Canberra and wish you well for safe travel to Australia in April.


FOOTNOTES
1. I had a day off yesterday because I realised that I had not had a day off running this year and it used to be my practice to have a day off most weeks. The only other reason was to rest up for Thursday's 10k, but I will do yesterday's run today and today's tomorrow morning. Then attempt 95s. Even in the 7:30pm heat.

2. ACTVAC track events this Thursday include
6:00pm 2000m
7:00pm 800m
7:30pm 10000m CHAMPIONSHIPS
7:45pm 300m
8:00pm 4 x 100m relay

3. I had a massage on Monday. My worst fears were realised when the masseur said I was OK to continue to train for the marathon.
