Was going to run today but Belinda woke me at 7am with "Jase I think my waters just broke". :)

Abby Clare McCrae was born at 12.24pm, closely followed by her sister Zoe Audrey McCrae at 12.31pm. All went really well and both are beautiful. Shall be in hospital for a while (Belinda was a bit over 34 weeks pregnant i.e. 6 weeks premature). Belinda is fine.

Goodness knows what I'll do about the bloody marathon!

C • WOW!!!!!!!!! and congrats!!!!!!!! 33

Run in with Hoggster, Ella & Kez. Plenty of bike path traffic so Kez and I ran secret-service escort style in front of pram (like that Clint Eastwood movie when he's the secret service guy getting too old....). Bit nippy too with -0.5 overnight. I thought the guy on the radio said -5 in which case there would have been a revolt. Main controversy of the morning was at Vanilla Bean when they dared to provide us with butter "on the side" instead of pre-melted into our cinamon-turkish-toast. We were both disgsuted and luckily I was with Hoggster who sent them back. The amount of butter melted into the toast when it reappeared reflected the reputation and respect Hoggster holds at the Vanilla Bean. Yum.

C • only hoggster 1

Warm up jog round aranda ovals and back again.

Did 3* 2.5 laps of aranda ovals which footpod says was 1.1k. I thought maybe 1.2k but will take footpods measure. Recoveries were a lap of the oval which took about 3mins at slow jog. Felt a bit sorer in warm up than I thought I would which I put down to doing extra stretching (although should be put down to doing stretching rather than anything extra about it!). Pace was solid but not flat out. Bloody cold this morning too - winter is coming I tells youse. 1.1ks: 4.20(154/167), 4.21(159/168), 4.23(157/168)

havent managed to weigh myself for ages but had decided i was feeling a bit skinny so hopped on the scales. 83kgs is a good result for me.

Two Bridges run with Graham at lunch time. We did the lake lap pretty much at 4mins30s per/k, bit slower on way back to work. Felt easy although bit of tiredness/stiffness in quads.
I must stretch.

Hopefully that will help......

super commuting. bit nippy these days.

Farmhouse loop blob with big turn out - virgin blobbers Kez & Cowie boosted the numbers. Felt a bit sore in lower back and legs from o but better after blob and decent stretch at home at the end.
