There were 17 runners at Parliament House last night. Miranda, Ewen, Andrew, Lincoln and I ran 8k early. Other runners joining us for a Rose Garden 200m speed session were Cookie, Andy, Bronwyn, Caroline, Craig, Havilah, Kym, Laura, Lucia, Mick C, Peter & Ruth. Some did 10 loops on 3 minutes, some did 12 on 2:30, others did their best. The chin-up test saw Havilah set a new standard for women, she completed ten straight. Craig edged me out in the men's contest, he did 1+2+3+4+1 while I managed 1+2+3+4+0. Our target is the end of February to catch up with Havilah!
Last Saturday Suzie, Andy & Zainab had a good long run from the Acton Ferry Terminal, while I was away in Wagga.

Song of the week
Mumford and Sons - Awake My Soul
I only discovered this group late last year and they are already my favourite group. This is certainly my favourite song. But all their songs I do like. Nearly all.
Last Saturday Suzie, Andy & Zainab had a good long run from the Acton Ferry Terminal, while I was away in Wagga.
