that was a tough one.

2hr, 17.8k, 6.43 pace. ran down oxford st, around hyde park, back up oxford st (many strange looks from the multitude of revellers still out, still smashed). then diverted down flinders, around the moore park golf club, around the outside of the park and through the middle of the park and did a lake loop. actually felt totally fine until the last 10 mins which were a real struggle. still made myself hold and even pick up the pace so I'm quite pleased with that. ran into rob and brightshoes and glimpsed sean's squad as i walked home afterwards.

more phantom sweat blisters - on my shoulders this time. its definitely related to sweating - but the other ones disappeared and the skin is starting to peel. who knows - maybe that is just what happens when you get burnt? i never do so its all very new and icky to me.

last night the owl and I went to watch the state 3k championships - particular to cheer on sparkie and superflake and gary and quite a few striders actually. very exciting! (despite the parking dramas caused by the inconsiderate timing of the U2 concert :). some fantastic runs and we had a little picnic up in the stands. we also hardly perved at all because we were quite far up and it was difficult to see clearly (except for the dude in the white lycra bike pants...).

i bought a set of scales yesterday. it is a bit of an experiment to try and desensitise myself to weighing myself. having always had an issue with weight/appearance stepping on the scales is never pleasant and is often enough to ruin my day/week. we shall see. like lorna says - its just a number.......

just had a bowl of watermelon - how good is it???
