FOOTNOTES
1. I enjoyed the Sprint Marathon Relay on Sunday. I wasn't in a team, but totalled 29km running with the participants, who in turn didn't quite run a marathon but each team did complete 36k. There were ten teams, an excellent turn-out.
2. Tomorrow the Summer Series has a 5km run at the National library.
