Congratulations to all finishers in today's Canberra Times Fun Run. The speedy geese were very speedy and the speedier geese were even speedier. Many of the geese are morphing into fish via a mer-goose intermediate form. I must get some photos soon to show you. The ganders are not changing similarly, but if they start making "run like a girl" T-shirts which fit men, and darn it, that is who they should be making them for, the process may start very soon.

Some of us ran PBs in the CTFR despite it being a warm sunny day when runners' times on average were a bit slow because of the warmth. I will publish all our training group's times when they are known.

I jogged the uphills because of my injury, and raced the downhills. A disappointing end to the winter season, but I am very pleased that my injury (torn hamstring) did not get any worse and I will be able to continue training. (This is all very déjà vu! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, discarded the massage vouchers.)

Lauren was 9th in the world cup 400m hurdle race in 58.22. A taste of competition among the very best in the world. Knowing Lauren, she will benefit enormously from the experience. See the result here
