Still taking it easy

I have been miserable with a rotten head cold so haven't been doing much. Even the 14 k with tigger on Sunday was a bit of a struggle. I'm starting to feel a bit better.

I have entered the 30k at Glasshouse on Sept 13. Tigger starts her 100K there the day before.

Eddie I agree it was a pain
Perhaps we didn't need to train
As usual you displayed grace
Despite my slow pace.
As for the GH run
And a long day in sun
Unless I shake this bug
I'll be in bed staying snug.
Depressing as that would be
Eddie I know you agree
That if I ignore the signs
That'ii be the end of my running time!

Hope you are feeling a lot better.

Did your gum boots spring a leak?
Cold feet cuts your running streak.
Tigger's snail pace made you sweat
I think we've the makings of a bet
How about her pace for 100 K?
I'll guess 8 minutes per km run,
Can't be any faster in blazing sun!
If she is, I lose and buy the beer,
If not, I win, and all will cheer!

Ewen your money is safe
Tigger will have to look to another state
And another 100k run
Plus or Minus the blazing sun!

Yes I was aiming for 8 mins/k
But to my dismay
I have a signficant bug
That has served to pull the rug
From under my heavy feet
It's giving me some heat!

The 100k has gone
I can't find the words for a song
That would describe my distress
But I know withdrawing is for the bes'
