Just Coasting

Did my long run up the coast a little way today. The boys were playing cricket at the same ground so I got G to drop me off along the way and had my run. G thought I was being a bit gung ho but I reminded him that he is going fishing in the morning and I have to get my long run in somehow.

As it was only about 5ks to the field I took a road that headed off toward the beach with nice coastal views which probably added another 7 ks. All up I ran for 80.21 and I'm guessing that it was probably about 12 ks. I hope this still counts as a long run now that I have been doing 15 ks.
I made the dumb mistake of not taking the fuel belt (was worried about looking like I took myself too seriously) and it was really hot and thirsty weather. I might have run for longer if I had it but it was about 9.30 when I finished and it is quite warm at that hour. The moral of the story: who cares what others think :-)

It was a nice run despite being a tad warm. I saw kangaroos, nice billabongs with heaps of water lilies, the ocean and even some swans. I also waved at a guy wearing stubbies, knee high rubber boots and a hat (no shirt) - he waved back.

J's team won and he got 18 runs (including his first four)and took a wicket. D's team came close (unfortunately he got a duck, but had a few good hits and bowled quite well). We had a nice picnic lunch at the beach with the other families and have so far avoided doing any housework today!
