Arrived on the Tan this morning, a quick check of the air temp, OMG, 4 degrees, WTF! Oh well, I took off on the Tan, first lap 18:31, second lap 17:25 and I then ran a further 5 minutes and then turned around and ran back 5 min. Both laps anticlockwise, all up 10k for the morning. Felt good.
Coaching Little Aths kids in the evening, a smaller group than normal, which is fine due to being in between season, 14 tonight. Good news, a 16 year old boy contacted me tonight, he wants to join my Tue/Thu group and concetrate on 15's & 3k races, I currently coach his 14 year old sister.

i tried to call you something other than stu once..and got duly told off!!! thats probs why you dont have other nicknames LOL
I'll have to look more closely next time, I can't say I have noticed that your nose was busted 5 times, must have had a good doc.
Neighbours!!!
Oh Stu LOL
I was also going to comment about the Neighbours bit- then I remembered my Funniest Home Videos confession. You must get to the Tan as early as I do for it to be that cold.
Ah yes... paper boy. That was a good job. Top Gear - must get the DVD set - I've missed a few episodes.
Of course, he'll have to race 8s if he wants to race 15s :)
