Striders 10km @ North Head

After coming down to Sydney yesterday for the weekend I managed to convince mum to take me out to North Head for the 10km run. Friday Night I went to the Bell Shakespeare Production of Two Gentlemen of Verona, which was very enjoyable and alot of fun.

For the race today, I loved the course and the scenary and just took it easy for fear of inhibiting my run next weekend at the Sydney Half which I am really looking forward to and because of my sore throat and runny nose from my allergy to all the smoke in the air from the backburning that has been going on around Berowa and Turramurra. I ended up doing 44:31 which wasn't bad and any hopefully that means I can really put down the accelerater in next weeks race. Mum took me and had a walk around the headland and took some photos of the scenary as well as one of me. It was good to introduce her to some of my running friends as well. Unfortunatley I had to go home and study rather than join the guys for brekky on the corso at Manly but I'm sure I'll get another chance (sorry TA and sfG - Thanks for the offer of the lift). Anyway the next week is devoted to prep for the Half which mainly involves eating right and getting enough sleep. I can't wait to be able to run across the lanes of the Harbour Bridge, it will be such an experience.

Cya Round,
