Wednesday Oct 2, 2013 #
6 PM
Run 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)
A short jog around Aranda late in the day, squeezed in between work and the Schools dinner, to see if my body was functioning again. The answer is that it's a bit better than the weekend but still pretty ordinary - still feels like I have a permanent stitch.
The Schools relays again went well (and as a Victorian by adoption, I was pleased to see them win for the first time since 2004). The weather wasn't quite as wild today as it had been on Tuesday but it was still pretty breezy. I wasn't responsible for the greatest commentary innovation of the day - Brodie (who was our equivalent of football's boundary rider) interviewed Victorian reserve Sam Hasell while he was running the spectator leg for a composite team.
I also had the pleasure of doing the sort-of-after-dinner speech at the Schools presentation dinner. In between some serious stuff, I thought this audience was a good opportunity to pass on some of the (not involving misbehaviour) tales of Schools trips past, so they got to hear of episodes such as the spectacularly unreliable SA bus (1989), some of the epic pizza-eating feats of 1990s juniors, the 2001 post-Ansett WA bus trip and the Kiandra snowball fight with SA, and the 2004 lightning-blasted cow.
It's been a pretty hectic couple of days - at events in the mornings and working in the afternoons (and deep into the evenings). Somewhat to my frustration, the report I've been working on hasn't seen the light of day yet, but hopefully it will soon.
