Report on Monday night training: Present were Alan, Amanda, Bronwyn, Cathy, Ewen, Gary, me, Helen, Katie, Ken, Mick C, Mick H, Rachelle, Ruth, & Yili. We divided up into five teams of three and ran eight zigzags of 260m with 200m recovery in between. Each person. The westerly wind was strong, and flying Frisbees added to the fun. Next week the plan is twelve not eight.

I didn't make much of a fuss about winning this award, but now I should express my sincere thanks to Garry Maher for sponsoring it. A $150 voucher for the Runner's Shop is far more than I expected! It was a shock to see that when I opened the envelope some time after being given it.
Song of the week: Snow Patrol - Crack The Shutters:
You cool your bed-warm hands down
on the broken radiator
when you lay them freezing on me
I mumble "can you wake me later"
but I don't really want you to stop
and you know it so it doesn't stop you
you run your hands from my neck
to my chest
(Chorus)
crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day
and just watch you as the rays
tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours
finding new ways to be awed each minute
'cause the daylight seems to want you
just as much as I want you
it's been minutes, it's been days
it's been all I will remember
happy lost in your hair
and the cold side of the pillow
your hills and valleys
are mapped by my intrepid fingers
and in a naked slumber
I dream all this again
