Here is one event not to miss. Kym, Kelley, and Caroline are taking part, and the rest of us plan to assemble at the top of Stromlo before the start, 8:00am, for a jog and to watch the event, cheering the runners on.

Training last night
For the record, since there was no training last night to report on, enjoying dinner at the Phnom Penh in Belconnen were Kerrie, Andy M, Clint, Me, Jenny M, Gregg, Joel, Yelena, Mick H, Kym, Margaret , Miranda, Andy R, Ruth, David, Sarah-Jayne, Susan, Eliza, Rex, Andrew S, Warrick, CJ, Kelley, Janene, & Jen B in no particular order. Something we haven't done for a while, cancel the running session and do something social. Some missed out if I didn't manage to get in touch, others couldn't make it, and if that's you and you are keen to do something similar in a smaller group fairly soon, do get in touch and we can work something out.

Today it's back to Dickson - I will be there at 4:00pm sharp as usual for a long run. I am feeling much more like it this week! And I promise it won't be super fast.
