Googong Dam Half Marathon

Geoff is away at the moment, which means that his poor blog is open for me, as a co-contributor, to destroy...

The first Googong Dam Half Marathon was held on the weekend by Ken and other ACTCCC members and was a fantastic opportunity for a run in the bush. The event was rather affordable, indeed for quite a few, free, and it proved to be a great work out for any other runners similar to me who are still developing their hill running muscles. In fact, I'm still walking a bit strangely, and I believe a few others are as well.

I do not have Geoff's extensive knowledge of Team-Moore-ese runners, so I may have missed a few of you out. If you wish to be included, e-mail me at akipk@yahoo.com and I'll get around to it, or better still, e-mail Geoff and annoy him. :)

I also spoted Magaret and Ruth in a team, doing a challenging Saturday run, and Maria O'Reilly and Peter Hogan were a welcome sight at the half way mark with drinks. Thank you to both of you.
