Perhaps as important to me as posting a good time, is meeting other runners. It's taken me way too long to find the locals however we have finally organised a monthly run and coffee. The inaugural event last Sunday saw five of us turn up and I know the numbers are likely to increase considerably. We met at the Cave Gardens and ran up to the lake, clockwise around it and return for coffee at 'Sorrentos'.
The next big thrill was to be introduced to the Thursday group. These guys have been meeting regularly for about 2 yrs and I've missed them because I sleep in. They meet at 5.30am!! The early starts may take a little getting used to again but the thrill of running with others is a great incentive.
The other significant decision in my running life is that to postpone my first marathon until next year. To run these distances I need water and the Camelback I want is too expensive to justify just going out and getting it. Soooo. I hope for a very special Christmas present this year. In the mean time I will try to improve my 10k time. Would love to finish the Adelaide C2B (12K) in sub 50m. Still got 3 minutes between me and that goal.
