feeling sick, but thinking of cities marathon....(by NTR)

Another week has passed, and i am feeling pretty ordinary at the end of it...had today off with i guess is a cold, and i think I tipped the scales yesterday by doing a 6km run for Police Games. Did it in a modest 29:xx, and got a medal for coming first, in my category of one! Nice medal though, my kids are impressed :-) There were atleast 5 CR's there - active and dormant members, who used to contribute when CR was "good"? Each to their own... I get lots of value out it, and hope sometimes i put a little back too.


Slept for 3 hours on the lounge today - woke up to the phone ringing, but must have been in a deep level 5 sleep, as it took about an hour to wake up fully from it!

I had a good chat to Mark Gibson yesterday from Blacktown Council who organises much of the Cities Marathon. I am thinking seriously in entering ( assuming i pull up from Canberra OK ) for a few reasons:

1. It is a local run - it finishes about 2km from home, and goes within 400metre of my house
2. i have run about 10km of the track a few times already
3. i can easily train on the track ( m7 )
4. last year there were only 107 ( i think ) entrants. No, i don't think that improves my chances of winning at all, but i do think the event warrants more support then that
5. the price is great - $50 entry fee, no accommodation fees, air tickets etc.
   

Apparently he has a few hassles with the website getting updated, but all other plans are on track for it.

Mouse is in NZ for work for 2 weeks - i wish she was back home for a hug!! Not only do i miss her company, but miss being able to get out for a night time run! ( is that bad??? )
