As some of you are aware, when the day came for the fun run I was not in attendance.

I had every intention of making up up until I realised, the night before, that it was already 1:30AM and I was still at La Trobe, and I hadn't eaten dinner. I wasn't anticipating having to bump out Colosseum in its entirety that night, but unfortunately we had to. The race started at 7:30am Sunday morning. The earliest I could have gotten to bet was about 2:30am - and given that hour of the night I had Maccas for dinner. These factors combined to make me think better of attending the actual event.

So, in lieu of the proper event I will be doing a 10km solo jog in about a fortnight (November 1 or 2), with Chris riding a push bike along side me, potentially shouting motivational/abusive things at me as I go.

I intend to then hold a picnic (weather permitting).

In spite of my own crapness, the donations and support given to me through the journey has been simply awesome. Even without the event, I have run 26km in September, and will pass than in October (training starts again tomorrow! It was going to be tonight, but it's raining a lot...).

When I'm organised I'll post something on facebook about it, all proper like. Oh I can still be sponsored for the Run4Refugees thing up till the end of this month - if you have forgotten and intended to, the money is still welcome!!!! They have raised $137,000 so far. This means they can just about fund their entire food, medicine, MetCard and Community Meals budget for a year, off the back of funds raised by the run.

Anyway yeah, wish me luck (mark 2).
