De-lurking day

Posted by speedygeoff on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 with
The lurker is the frequent visitor to the blog who reads, enjoys, but never comments. Yet on this day I invite you to say hello. It is not only a liberating act but warms our collective souls to see who else is out there in the blogosphere. So where are you from? What do you do? How often do you visit? Any info will be devoured by Ewen and myself.
Just say hello or make an observation, what is the best run you have had or which post have you enjoyed the most?
I have opened up the comments. Hoping the spam robots stay away.
You can continue to lurk tomorrow.

Recent speedygeese training sessions: On Sunday 23 February @ Stromlo Forest Park: Andrew, Dave, me, Jen, Joel & Kylie met to run a session of 4 x 1km with a full km recovery. Then Dave went on to race the Vets Handicap, as he does, while Jen and I caught up with some old friends we hadn't seen for a while, since the handicap was being held at our training venue.

On Monday 24 February @ Parliament House: Ewen, Kanjana (visitor) a.k.a. Gung, and I ran early, then for Rose Garden 200s Jen ran them on 2:15 and Christopher, Ewen, Marilyn, Mick C, Ruth and Gung all ran them on 2:45. The numbers were down because at least six of our number were dealing with injury or illness this week, including Colin who turned up on a bicycle, and others were missing because they were away. [Edit: Bronwyn completed the session later the same day, held up by a late finish to cricket]

Weston Park 5k

Last night's summer Series race at Weston Park. You can actually see Vanessa and me walking up to the start, with Jen and Mick C. closer to the camera. Of course you cannot see Ewen as he is behind the camera on this occasion. Nice and shady!
