    @kunaal84 We’ve been there and gone! Sorry to miss you. Got very cold after we finished!


    City2Surf! Race went exactly as planned. 1:48:21 is unofficial time. http://t.co/ZxiuCpx


    Getting my post-C2S reward in the form of some exquisite muscular torture! (@ Massage Link Health Centre) http://t.co/QAM4iE7


    Well, crap. I had hoped to wow my office with Whoopie Pie Cupcakes tomorrow… but WHOOPIE PIE FAIL. Just choc cupcakes now. 🙁 #cupcakeday


    Cupcake Day for the RSPCA! My Whoopie Pie cupcakes didn’t turn out so bad after all. http://t.co/2Q1Obv7 http://t.co/rlbPlrd


    @imdominating I think it was a flawed recipe. They didn’t puff up; they spread out flat and thin. And my fake fluff filling oozed all over..


    @imdominating However, I’m still serving them to my co-workers. They won’t know the difference. 🙂


    @blakkat Half of mine did. Rodd convinced me to bring the rest in anyway. 🙂


    @VenessaHunt Where are they? Hurry up! 🙂 #cupcakeday #rspca


    @witty_knitter We did it in our office 2 years ago, but missed it last year. I saw somebody mention on Twitter. Should’ve promoted it more!

    @sixandahalfst Ahh, I didn’t know you knew @jenwburn! So we’re all running tomorrow, right? Will be fun!


    Guild today was great. Lots of new faces, and @knitterjp did a fantastic job leading the meeting!


    @jenwburn @sixandahalfst Haha, nope. Last 2 weeks have sucked w/ injury & illness, so will be taking it very slow! Aiming for ~110 min…


    @sixandahalfst @jenwburn Meeting up with some of the dailymile runners afterwards at meeting point D…


    Carb-loading for tomorrow’s City2Surf with Jamie’s Spaghetti Puttanesca, Crunchy Salad & Garlic Bread. 29:49 FTW! http://t.co/iXSUudu


    @jenwburn After my horrific marathon, rain will never be a fear factor for me. 🙂 Do you best, and I’ll see you at Bondi!

    Fuelling up with the Snook before we head out for the City2Surf, the largest run in the world. We’ll be running 14km (8 miles) from Sydney to Bondi Beach along with 80,000 other people. This will be my 5th time running it (and the Snook’s 4th). We’re actually scheduled for a 17km training run today, so we’ll be doing an extra two miles before the start. HARD CORE! Wish us luck…

    @sixandahalfst Wow. Just wow.


    Nora’s story is now on the Telegraph website: http://bit.ly/nNkXMr (cc @zephyrama @drkknits @witty_knitter @sixandahalfst)


    @zephyrama Wow. Yeah, she rang M-H’s boss at work. I’ve not had any personal interaction with her, thankfully…


    Very, very interesting week at work.


    @toastman I won’t let you down. *nods briskly*

    Last run before c2s. Nice and easy!


  • Latch Hooked Childhood Cats

    Latch Hooked Childhood Cats. The Snook and I have joked about turning Dr. Amy Jones into a rug of some sort when she’s gone. This is nearly as good!

  • RunningBlog: Week 32

    Climbing back on the horse! The Snook and I dutifully skipped last week’s 7K Bay Run (as ordered by our doctor) which meant we had more than a week off running. On Tuesday I went out in the early morning for a little jog around Newtown by myself. (The Snook ran at lunch.) I couldn’t do Spudds this week as I was at a training course from Tuesday to Thursday. I went for another run today at lunch with Raj. I feel really slow and heavy right now (the training course was all carbs and coffee) but it’s nice to be back on the right track.

    Aug 9: 5.4km
    Aug 12: 5.63km
    Total this week: 11.03km (6.9mi)
    Total in 2011: 743.25km (464.5mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 738.4km right now. So yeah. The big cushion I built up in marathon training has totally been whittled down by a few weeks of injury and illness! It should start going up again though. This Sunday is the City 2 Surf, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world…
