Race report: Sussan 10km
Time: 1.11.33
Rating: Pleased
9.30pm Saturday. A fun party, but not so good that I couldn't drive home. Why I was awake at 5am (an hour before I needed to be) I have no idea. 
9.30 am Sunday. Three out of four goals* done. 
I'm not writing a race report because it would be a whole lot of I hate this why do I do this I suck so badly there's Secret Sara, she's been going about how slow she is and there she is ambling along in front of the 60 minute pacer she's so fast I'm so pleased for her I'm so bad at this oh thank goodness there's a water stop how stupid to forget my gel I am so crap at this stop whining I'm not listening la la la thank goodness I have someone nice to talk to (hi Penny from Horsham!) this is no fun why do I bother? because Mum would love to be here, that's why, and because Dad would love Mum to be here but she has to look after him just now thank you God he's ok don't get teary when you're running up a hill that won't help ok the Spousal Unit said try not to stop until 9km then see how many people you can pass by the end come on it's only gunna be about 7 more minutes crap I am sick to f#$%ing death of your lame arse complaining shut the f$#% up for f#$% sake my legs hurt I bet I can keep going this hurts but I can hang on hang on keep going I bet I can pass another one you are so my rabbit lady that's 19 people woo hoo there's the finish and the clock f#$% I was hoping to be faster than that oh well chin up and smile for the camera thank goodness I can stop now where's the water? and you don't need that.
Huge kudos to my friend Berny who went close to a PB when she knew at 3km her knees were not on her side, and to Secret Sara's awesome first post-injury outing. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for all the Coolrunners at the start and during the run it would have been a rotten morning. As it was, it was character-building. I didn't disappoint myself and that's all I could reasonably aim for with the amount of training and sleep I've managed lately
I went to church on the way home because J was taking Noddie (I usually go) and our minister's wife thought I was ever so brave and strong and fast. She's such a nice woman.
All four goals achieved *grins**1. Show up 2. Run 3. Stop 4. wear the shirt

You showed up
You ran
You stopped
and you wore the shirt (which is quite cute, I must add)
4 of 4 goals completed. Woot!
Loved the "race report".
That's the sort of mind games I play too - it's tough aye... lord knows why we do it, but in the end it all works out, even on bad days.
Well done and congrats on the shirt (and finishing of course!)
Yeah ... glad you didn't bother to write a race report ...... :-)
Nice t-shirt - where can I get one !!!
Take care
Eat Em
PS: Are you coming to CR drinks on Friday nite at St.Kilda ??
It doesn't matter if you had to crawl
You shouldn't mind if you want to bawl
The fact you run
Means you won
So my girl, stand tall, stand tall
Brendan is on the money
And you beat your OD time honey
(and then I ran out of rhymes)
Great to see you- nice work on smashing your OD time. Sorry we had to scoot off afterwards.
That's a really cute tee! Well done on the run and meeting all four goals.
Still you are better than me so shut up and be so so proud of yourself!! There! love the Tee too ;-)
