Thursday 10 April: Colin, Bron (new) and I ran 20 x 100m with very short breaks. The oval was damp but the rain was falling only lightly, the lights were blazing, and it was a great session with very few others on the ovals at Dickson. We will continue at Dickson each Thursday at 5:30pm and only miss a week if the sports grounds are officially closed.

Saturday 12 April Acton Ferry Terminal: Susan ran long then joined Elspeth and I at 9:00am for a 6k run, then I ran on to complete 15k. We will continue meeting at 9:00am on Saturdays.

Elspeth, Susan and I after our 9:00am run on 12 April. Happy days!

Sunday 13 April: Before watching the Marathon, Miranda and I ran a 10k tempo run. Our target was to break 61 minutes, it was Miranda's 61st birthday. We ran about 56:30.

Monday 14 April Parliament House: Susan, Ewen, Miranda and I ran 8k early. For the main session we went down to the flagpoles and ran two “zigzag” relays in the dark. We expected a full moon but there were clouds. Good thing that about five of us had headlamps. Running the relays were Alex, Andy, Bron, Caroline, Christopher, Colin, Ewen, Jen, Kym, Leonie, Mick C, Vanessa. Teams of 3 for the first 12 minute set, teams of two for the second.
