The Memory of Running



Hobble, hobble, limp, limp... I feel like my Lassa Opso, Hai Kye, in the final six months of his life, as he tried to walk up the stairs to watch Leno with mom and dad. In my training for yesterday's 21.1 Km race, I only actually ever went as long as 18 Km. Who knew that extra 3.1 would make the next day so frickin' painful. Despite today's debilitating pain, the race went off like a dream. I ran the first 8 km at about 6 minutes each, and made up time by speeding up for the remainder, averaging between 5 and 5.5 minutes per Km. While the final results aren't in, and pictures are yet to be developed, I have clocked my time at approximately 118 minutes, and I couldn't be more pleased. Next step, Marathon in September? Thanks to the Blonde Bunny, TwoCan, Ms. Highco and especially Chopper for all the support.

Other weekend stuff...

Ms. Highco and I cooked up a mean batch of 321 Spatchcock for a pre-race binge, and she prepared an absolutely kick-ass Creme Broulee. So, finally after a long hiatus, the Raider will be updated with a new recipe this week, something that should be a weekly feature. Get your blowtorches ready kids, and don't worry, I've got Seppo's famous Mozzarella Lasagne, and some Putenesca on the way as well.

It's nice when someone does the ranting for you, especially when they are eloquent and have hot bods. Thanks Ms. Fits for your fantastic comments on the horror of Australian Idol Guy Sebastian setting up Anti Abortion "Clinics".

Buble, get off of my radio! The wannabe Sinatra's song "Home" has turned Schapelle's misfortune into a tragedy for our collective ears. Do you ever get the feeling that people get off on the misery of others, but somehow portray it as compassion?

For all you Googlers looking for the "Harley" pics of my least favourite Big Brother housemate, Michelle Carew-Gibson, I do not dissapoint. Ok, they're not the full deal, but it's the best I can do, and beggars can't be choosers. How the got the young lady to look forty is beyond me.
