Now, as part of the event we run each day and read as many fellow participant's blogs as possible, commenting here and there. Sounds fine to me. But let me take today as an example. Up at 05:00am, half an hour of general larking about with AJ before we head out with the dogs until about 07:00. Then I hand the little lady over to Sal, throw my lunch in a backpack and get on the bike to work. At lunch time I do my running, and after work it is back on the bike home. Dinner is usually on, and I throw some down before cleaning up the plates while Sal has a bath with monkey-bum. Then I get AJ changed into her PJs ready for bed and we start the 15mins too-and-fro of little lady getting up, creeping into the lounge, getting escorted back to bed and finally zonking at about 7pm. By which time I'm buggered and feel like sitting. Just sitting. Nothing else but sitting.

Anyway, now I need to add into the mix blogging my day's run, lets say 20mins, and reading as many of the 105 other blogs as I can. Y'know, I think that is going to present the biggest challenge. Must be about an hour of blog reading in there. This is a proper endurance event. Sure I can find an hour of my working day to fit that in...

Anyway, today at lunch time (well, 2pm) I took to the 31 degree streets of Sydney for a 10k (ish) trot to Anzac Bridge and back. Felt a bit spacey at the end of it an luncheoned upon Lucozade (the original and still the best) a monster Snickers and bag of salty crisps. Sugar good, salt good.

Oh, the picture, in case you're interested, is a Peel A50 that I spotted on the way to work today. The mechanic looking after it - the mechanic for Top Gear Australia, as it happens - let me have a look around and in it. This one was used in Top Gear and has the lion and baboon damage to prove it. A very silly car indeed.

I want one.
