Kurrawa Playlist
Maybe I should've rested up but I knew I'd feel better going into Sunday's race if I had a bit of a run this morning. Pat mentioned yesterday that today's session would be 'sprints in The Gardens', that's where we go fast/jog/fast/jog around a square.
It sounded perfect, I could turn the legs over but not thrash myself. And that location meant I could park at work, do an extra long warm-up and then run my warm-down back to work and be ready to start at 7am.
The sprints seemed to be over almost before they started, its amazing how much quicker the time passes when you aren't going 100% :-) The last couple of laps I hit out a bit and it felt good.
I'm slightly more confident about Sunday now.
2P - haven't won any sunnies ... yet.
Clairie - don't give up your day job, you'd make a terrible psychic.
Still need to get a few things sorted for the race, like drinks etc. The most important task is done though, my playlist. Here it is. Its a bit of a mix - old, new, covers, World, daggy, dance, etc.
To get in the mood before relay partner Nick runs in ....

Clairie makes a better sidekick than psychic :-)
Looks like you're all sorted Tess - have fun mate and enjoy.
Look forward to the report.
Radio Birdman!
I was going to feature them on my song of the week next week. Seem like a great list of songs and with your form it should be a nice day.
All the best Tesso
love the lilly allen - that's sure to help you home :)
They used Van Morrison's 'Brown Eyed Girl' in the coverage of the World Champs Marathon in Tokyo...
Good luck. Give Clairie a scary ;)
Macarthur Park? Great song!

How did you go? I think you deserve a great run. How did you go? .... Ahhhhhhhh I NEED to know ... Post Please
All the kids at my son and daughters school are crazy about "I Like To Move It - Sacha Baron Cohen". I think it is due to Madagascar movie.
