Thursday

I just found this good information via Jenny Hadfield of Runner's World.  Very good advice too, considering I am due to run 24kms this weekend!  I was trying to "share" it to Blogger but it won't work so here is the hyperlink.... This morning was 12kms of up and down and windy roads and parks and generally a beautiful run through Fig Tree Pocket.  However, running around the park half way through, we noticed all the houses are completely empty and almost every garden has an Australian flag pinned to the front fence.  The area was obviously completely inundated by the floodwaters of January.  It really makes you stop and consider what hardship those residents have experienced. Where are they living now and when will they be able to come home and start again?  Every day I am reminded of people who are doing it tough in one way or the other and is stops me having a moan about how hard it is going to be to run this marathon.  Get Over Myself!
