From the Micallef Program, Series 1, Episode 1. “It was clearly because of the injuries and her desire to overcome the injuries that she won the gold medal, therefore I think the secret for success of the Australian Team is to injure them as much as possible….

I hope it’s not too hot for the marathon in Sydney tomorrow. Sunday's Sydney forecast: 16 to 26. Go Warrick! Don't get injured. You've survived many hill sessions, you should be OK.

Because some people are a bit sore we'll cut down on the hill running at Parliament House.
