Boston Marathon - just one personal story of many.

Speedygeese training at Parliament House last night: Ewen and I ran early, a steady 8k. Although it was officially cold, the wind had dropped in time for our run and it felt fine. Then we met the rest of the runners for our third week of "Rose Garden 200s", a 200m straight with a 240m recovery, most sprinting the straight and floating the recovery.
Sarah-Jayne completed 15 laps and is looking good for her half marathon in May (see below); Jen ran 13½; Andrew 13 laps recovering from Sunday's Centenary Seven peaks Cycling challenge; Kelley & Mick H joined us for the first time in 2 years and both completed 13 laps, Mick staying with the 12 lappers once he had caught us, and Kelley catching us on the finish line; Tim, Kerry, Warrick, Andy & I ran 12 laps on 2:30, while Garry did 11 x 200m, new starter Marilyn ran 10 laps, and Ewen ran a few laps before breaking off to leave early.
