Committment, Consistency, Common Sense...., and Cockatoos

The three C's of running.
Commitment.
When you decide you should run regularly, do you really commit to it? Or do you drift off to something else after a few days?
Consistency.
Far more important than speed, or effort, or what training group you join, is consistency. Have you established a routine where you frequently and regularly do the exercise you know you should do?
Common Sense.
Yes you can miss the occasional day. When circumstances warrant it, have that day off.

Cockatoos.
In autumn we are regularly visited by flocks of cockatoos.  They like the cool and overcast conditions here in Canberra. Our backyard today was subject to a visit by quite a few of these noisy but beautiful creatures. They are quite large, close up.


Last night training at Dickson were Amanda, Brett L, Brett M, Bronwyn, me, Jennifer, Joel, Maria, Nadine, Rod, Roger, Thea & Yelena. We paired up for a relay, 8x~660m with ~250m jog recovery, another long session, over 40 minutes worth. Rod's son Brett ("nearly 11") joined us for the first time.
