Fantastic dinner at Vanguard. Now just waiting for pole-dancing Boba Fett. (Sadly, probably not. I don’t see a pole.)
Cantina Band. This is already the Best Thing Ever.
Holy crap. Sexy Slave Leia swung on a chain over our table. Also gave Snook a lap dance in audience. NOT KIDDING.
Sexy Jedi vs Sexy Dark Lord of the Sith.

Went for a run with Raj. Included 4 x 200m hill repeats on Cathedral Street. Felt so slow, and yet my lungs were BURNING.
Kunaal was a little surprised by his iced green tea cappuccino at Ichiban Boshi.
Started strong but faded a bit. Sore from Spudds last night.
Current musical obsession: The Whitlams’ “Buy Now Pay Later.” Five more repeats and I’ll qualify as clinically depressed, YET I CAN’T STOP.
Finally changed iPhone to use British spellings. My brain now uses “-ise”, and I’m tired of autocorrect changing to “-ize.” #assimilated
Easy 4K w/ Snook – no walking. Felt great!
GOOD GRIEF. Out of 101 finishers at Macleay Marathon, 23 people BQed. That’s crazy, right? I *really* don’t feel bad about coming last now.
Happy birthday Donna! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQh02uZgpXI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Wonder Woman lippie twins!
Attempted to call the parentals in an effort to delay going for my first post-marathon run. No answer. Guess I’m going to have to run.
First post-marathon run. Nice & easy!
Awesome. Just made plans with @gadgetgirl70 to see Dolly Parton in Sydney in November. Our tour of the Great Gay Icons continues…
After 3hrs drive, made it through Dorrigo and safely to Armidale. Sun is shining here! Lunch, then 6hr drive home…
Beardy Street in Armidale. Appropriate.
Big Golden Guitar. HELLS YEAH!
So happy to be home and warm in my own bed after 10+ hours on the road! I think the cats even missed us…
This is what we escaped on the Mid-North Coast yesterday. Two of the towns that were evacuated – Jerseyville and Kinchela – where actually along the marathon course I ran on Sunday.
Eungai Creek has receded a little. Yesterday it was flowing over the bridge. Now it’s just below it.
Looking increasingly likely that we’re going to be stranded here another night! What an adventure this holiday is turning out to be.
We think we can get through Dorrigo Rd to New England Highway. Will add 3hrs to the trip. Plus side: I get to see Armidale?
We made it through. Rain out of SW Rocks was hardest I’ve ever seen. Eungai Creek took out bridge so we went the long way. Safe and dry now.
For those wondering, big toe is still pretty sore. I suspect I’m going to lose the nail. My first one! I feel like a real marathoner now. 🙂
Theme of the whole damn weekend: wet and muddy.
My official race report from yesterday’s marathon. In other news, IT’S STILL RAINING.
Adventure! Need to get from South West Rocks to Eungai; called the cops to check road closures. We *think* we can get through. #endlessrain
