We're back on track for 2010. It was hard work battling the wind, and soreness made it twice as hard for me, so I couldn't do any Rachelle-like surges. But I hobbled to a 4:04 + 4:04 + 4:04 = 12:12 3000m, starting up the new year about where I left off the old. I still expect to run a minute faster if I can cure this achilles problem. And 1500m is definitely a better event for me but I dare not race such a short distance while injury is a concern.
No way!
No! 2010 is the year I am going to battle on. "I'm entitled to overcome". No way will I succumb to the pain! "It's my turn to speak."
Whatever the weather
Janene, me, Heidi. Janene found her mojo on Thursday with successive PBs in the 1500m then the 3000m. It was certainly her turn to excel.
p.s. Much thanks to photographer Strewth for the speedygeese dinner photos currently illustrating my stories here. Janene as well. Me too. I have lost track of who took which photos!
