November 2 - Run ...and then touch!
Tonight I was having off touch, so I decided to do a run and then go down to support the team.I headed off down through Fitzroy Gardens and past the MCG and Tennis Centre, before heading along the Yarra on the north side towards Flinders Street. Once I reached the aquarium I crossed the river, past the Casino and further along the river past Polly Woodside and South Wharf.
I was feeling pretty good at this stage, although I wasn't breaking any land speed records, and turned down Montague Street and followed that to York Street. Then it was along York and few side streets in South Melbourne to Park Street along to St Kilda Road. Then down to Fawkner Park and the touch fields.
All up it was 11km in just over 62 minutes.
Then as the team arrived for touch I got the news that we had a late pull out, and I was needed, so much to my dismay I had to play. The legs didn't have a lot of zing left, but I battled a way and did okay. We lost 8-4 to the top team, but after being down 6-2 at half time we improved a lot in the second half. We have a few players who haven't played before, so they are gradually picking up the game.
