The CANADA FUN RUN FOR CHARITY, the Fun-Run-formerly-known-as-Terry-Fox, was held yesterday morning. The top 25 runners in the 5k and 10k are timed and recorded. We were well represented in these results, although not in the 10k men with its 39:30 cut off. Well done to all who ran, I am sure there were some good times back in the field.

It appears certain people ran together, or else are very close rivals.

I have a serious hamstring injury. Should I resume running despite the fact that the hamstring is no better? We will see. I might be able to get away with jogging each day.
After the long trip to Brisbane, we walked into our son's house where we were greeted by the daughter-in-law. "So," she begins, "how long do you want to stay for this visit?"
"However long you want us," I responded.
What!" she exclaims, "You don't even want to stay for a coffee?"
By the way Scotty, the above is totally untrue, we had a wonderful time in Brisbane and our host and hostess were just perfect. And those two little grandsons were delightful.
Edit: Another 10k time, Mick Horan ~40.40. You cannot miss him in the photo, four across from Don, next to someone who looks suspiciously like Helen. Isn't it amazing how you can recognise someone with just a few pixels as clues?

Do I spy Tuggeranong Don or a very close likeness (blue t-shirt, sunnies) and many other familiar faces all around... click to enlarge.
