I want to spend the rest of my life alive

More like a torrent than a flood
Yesterday our long distance star Kelley Flood won the W50 division of the Great Ocean Road marathon, her time 3:43.02, her marathon split 3:26.48. Fantastic running!

There is nothing to Crow about in footy results at home, but I am certainly celebrating Chelsea's FA Cup win!
