I'm on a roll

Okay, enough Christmas frivolity - this is afterall (mostly) a running blog.

Why am I on a roll? Well being out there "in the good paddock" for the past few weeks has seen my waistline steadily expand and my weight increase. Three kilos so far and that is about as far as I will let it go.

So it was lace on the Adrenalines and get out the door before the heat set in. With a forecast of 35 degrees today a 7am start was the go (urgh!). Today I ran with fellow cool runners Greybeard and AndrewinOz and Holly (the ever happy lab). We took in the Coastal Trail from Rickett's Point to Hampton Surf Life Saving Club and return (roughly 13-14k).
Coastal Trail at Hampton (and Wobblette #2)

Holly and I led most of the way (she loves to be in front) but unfortunately my legs couldn't hold the pace towards the end particularly on the soft sand so we walked/ran the last 500m or so.

An enjoyable coffee and a natter with Greybeard followed at the kiosk while we compared thoughts on Canberra Marathon strategies. Expect a declaration of intention post on that shortly....

Its time to ice my shin (preventative) now and afterwards I think we are all going to see a "family" movie. A movie review will follow in the next post...
