Twenty Twenty
Set the group a twenty twenty run last night; as a bit of a break from the longer training sessions we usually do at this time. Twenty seconds "on", twenty seconds "off", for twenty minutes.
Two Two
The draw sufficed for the Socceroos to make the round of sixteen. Another night of little sleep coming up!
