Happy Monday morning everyone!  Just think, this time in TWO WEEKS we will all be champs!  The Marathon will be over!  I can't believe it's only 13 days really.  With that in mind, I have stumbled upon this inspirational little video that I thought you would enjoy too.
Yesterday, we did a 10km "predictor" event. I ran 52:56 which is my third best ever time so I am pretty chuffed.  I think it means I will come in at about 4hrs 10mins.  Hmmm….. Now THAT would be nice!  Imagine!!  I will tell you for sure in two weeks if all these predictors have been correct!   Following our run, InTraining put on a Marathon School breakfast at 16th on Park and it was delicious - and a fun way to catch up with everyone.  

My wonderful, lovely coach, Linda, with Steve & Sean (who are pretty lovely too! Ha!)

Two of my Marathon Pre-Schoolers, John & Larissa, who are running REALLY well!

These two men, Simon & Doc, are responsible for my two best ever 1/2 marathon times.  Thanks boys!  Next time, I should try to get a good time all by myself….  Shame is that I am totally undisciplined!

Speaking of InTraining, somehow I have ended up on the committee and even more amazingly, I have been unanimously elected head of the "promotions and PR" sub-committee!  Ha, ha, ha!  Gulp.  Okay, so first job was to arrange for more black, red & white pompoms for the cheer squad.  These are coming from the delightful team at PomPom Promotions in Sydney.  We will be quite a force of action and encouragement at the InTraining tent, just near the finish line, and from what I hear, last year the sight of those pompoms was enough to give our runners just a tiny burst of juice to get them home.  We only had six then, so we will be much more "obnoxious" (!!) this year!!  Time to get ready for work.  Bye!
