ANZAC Day

Running
All over the place today, all up 13.5Km

I parked on The Tan this afternoon and did a lap and a bit, 6Km at about 5:05 pace. Quickly grabbed my gear from the car and then ran another 1Km to Fed Square for Run Leader duties. Switchero into my Adidas kit and then took two runners on a slow, 6:20 pace 5.5Km run. A couple of lovely chicks, smiling and chatting the whole way, even got a couple of big smiles at the top of Anderson St :-)

Bit of a chat and imparting some advice back at base then bag under my arm again and another 1Km back to the car.

Prior to the relay on Saturday my plan is -
Thursday - An easy 8Km with about 15 minutes at tempo pace
Friday - 30 minutes easy with some strides to finish

ANZAC Day
I think most of my visitors are either Aussie or NZ so you all know the significance of the day.

For any international readers have a look here to see why it is such an important day of remembrance for Australians and New Zealanders.

As I said yesterday it now has added importance for me as it is also the day my Godson was born. I am happy to say that he was thrilled with his Spidey PJs and we had a bit of a play with the matchbox cars as well, in between scoffing cup cakes (I had my fair share, never could resist kids party food). He is such a gorgeous kid, a real little charmer, I had a great afternoon. His dad also assured me that Little Aths enquires have already been made and in another year when he turns 5 he’ll be signed up :-)

  1. I’m glad they still have matchbox cars. I used to love those. Sadly I think they’ve all passed on - victims of various “experiments” with passing cars….
