Today is a strange day. It's Melbourne Marathon day. Some of my friends are racing. It's a beautiful day for a hitout, not too warm but not blowing a gale and pouring like yesterday. They'll go well.
I'm going to finish my thesis today. Apart from some minor alterations when my supervisor sends it back on Wednesday, it will be done. It's only hours away (assuming I stop faffing around on the internet) but I cannot actually imagine it.
It's been a full year since I raced.
This is the first year since 2004 that I haven't been at Melbourne.
My appointment with the sports physician is on the 24th.
I don't know who reads this blog or what you do to have a big amazing life (Share! Share!), but if you ever get the idea that you might like to run in a race, then do it! Make it a big one. Be with other big dreamers. They're your people.
And if you think, one day I'd like to do a marathon, then go for it! Running up a marathon finishing chute is one of the best feelings in the world.
Dream big. Be amazing.

Oh hon. I just love you.
*whispers* I've entered a race.
I might have to walk a lot of it. I'm doing to 10 minutes run, 3 minutes walk until I have to just walk.
I believe we'll both do it again. Dream big. See you there.

You just finished a marathon of sorts. Congrats on the dissertation finish. I know how Much work that is.
When are you coming to Melbs?
When? WHEEEENNNNNN?????
well done on your thesis.
You have pushed yourself out of your comfort zone on many fronts, with your marathons, theses, etc.
Perhaps what you need is some comfort.
What would comfort you?
We can discuss this over coffee.
