Here we go now one more time

Dickson training and monthly time trials.
I am looking forward this week to track work as we resume training at Antill Street, Dickson. Yes one more winter out under the lights on a 400m grass track in the cold. BUT: something new this year; every four weeks I will conduct the speedy geese 2k challenge, a five lap time trial to measure your progress. Even if you cannot get there every Thursday night, don't miss this one. There will be rewards for (real) improvement, and the speedy geese are welcome to invite members of other training groups to run with us on those evenings and participate in the time trial.

We start out there this Thursday. The first 2k challenge will be on Thursday 3 May, so there is plenty of time to get into the swing of things.

Song of the week: Sick Cycle Carousel, Lifehouse, from "No Name Face"
if shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
if it had a home would it be my eyes
would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this
well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
you better believe that I have tried to beat this

so when will this end it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good

well I never thought I'd end up here never
thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought that it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
you better believe that I have tried to beat this

so when will this end it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this
sick cycle carousel
this is a sick cycle yeah
sick cycle carousel
this is a sick cycle yeah

so when will this end it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good

so when will this end it goes on and on
over and over and over again
keeps spinning around I know that it won't stop
till I step down from this for good
sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel
sick cycle carousel


Monday night training.
Last night we had a more ad hoc session on the western slopes of Parliament House; as some make last minute preparations for Easter racing, and others are starting there tapers for the marathon. Training were Alan, Caroline, Charmaine, Colin, David W, Ewen, me, Helen, Kathy, Katie, Ken, Maria, Mick C, Mick H, Neil, Peter and Ruth. And a gaggle of walkers.

Oh, and a name missing from the WGFR results yesterday but now in:
