About time folks!
Seems that I haven't been updating this blog for more than a month. Would be lying if I said I was too busy. I was busy cancelling my flights and sitting around doing nothing. Yeah, pisses me off to have flights cancelled after having to wake up early for all the planning. Well like they say, "there's always another day".
The Perth City to Surf Run was sensational! Plenty participated and our boys didn't let the college down. All but 2 from my batch ran! Overwhelming response thanks to a charismatic runner like me :-)
So the blessed day was lashed with strong winds and downpour. Just 5mins after flag off, we were all wet to our socks. Hate running in wet footwear especially long distances. Anyways, I pushed on and completed the half marathon. Not a brow lifting timing compared to the glorious days back in navy. Read a little about Terry Fox the other day. I mean try running for 143days on one leg (the other prosthetic) for 5663kms and the ONLY reason you stop is because the cancer cells in you have penetrated your lungs. Aretha's "RESPECT" and Christina's "Fighter" suddenly comes to my mind. Kudos Terry.
One reason why I enjoy long distance run is the fact that I get to test the limits of my body. You'd probably think you are up the wall, 20km down the route but fact is that you CAN still run another 20!
I'll officially be a 6 month resident of Jandakot Airport tomorrow! 3 more solos to clear before I embrace Phase 3 with open arms. Can't wait to move on.
