update....

Friday: Went straight to the gym after work before heading to coles to stock up for striders 10km...Deanne and I did the catering and there was so much food to buy! It was quite embarrassing having a trolley full of lamingtons and lollies!

Saturday: I know I said no more running but I went for a walk this afternoon that somehow turned into a 5km run....oops! I felt fine and no pain or discomfort. the striders run in the morning went well and the runners seemed happy with the food. there was so much there bu it almost all got eaten...just a few scones and jam rolls left over.

Sunday: Ray did the Woodford to Glebrook race today. I felt like I had run a marathon myself by the time I dropped him at one end and then got to the other and dragged allt he bags etc up to the finish! I stupidly had agreed to carry a runners bag from the start back to my car and take it to the other end. It must have weigher 20kgs and walking back to the car almost killed me! You forget that the body is already using limited resources and then add another 2okg onto my back!! I also unfortunately seem to have gotten Rays cold....thats Karma for the limited sympathy provided! So we both collapsed when we got home and had a sleep, then dinner and straight back into bed! Poor Ray was exhausted from running with a really bad cold....so we were a good pair!

Got to love the lammos. Hope you didn't forget the 10 cartons of coke.

I have a cold too - I'd forgotten how miserable they make you feel.

Well done with the catering at Striders. I couldn't believe how many goodies were available, even chocolate bullets - my favourite.
