The Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon




There was the phantom knee pain, the onset of a cold, lost gels, chance of rain, ummm... I think that will do with the excuses. But to say I didn't want to race was an understatement.

Alas, a beautiful Sydney morning came, along with 10,000 other nutters I did the Half Marathon and actually had a great time.

Despite my incredibly short attention span, I finished and took great pleasure in passing 300 people, who blew up... did it in 83 minutes, but unfortunately spent far longer than one would have liked looking for post-race coffee.

Along with the coffee came post race delirium, 2 runners, and an unforgettable supporter loitered in Darlinghurst - Hunger does odd things

The Smallest of Life's Pleasures


One must take great pleasure in the smaller things in life... My biggest small pleasure is my daily trip to my closest Campos. Whilst some are better than others - 'nectar of the gods' in any form generally does the trick.
