March 2007 totals
It is Run for the Kids eve and I am quietly excited.
I have been looking forward to this big event since December and it is only one more sleep away.
With the race starting at 8:30am and the first train getting to the City by 8:11am, public transport into Melbourne in the morning is just about impossible.
With great frustration it looks like an early start due to the road closures and a drive in on Sunday.
March Totals.
For the month of March I only managed to run 160.8 kilometres. With 14 runs that distance took me 13 hours and 27 minutes. The average pace was 5:01 which was a little faster than February's average of 5:17.
It is 40 kilometres short of my 200 per month goal and I only have laziness and bad time management to blame.
Run to Rockhampton.
My year to date is 464km's and that has me alongside the town of Tarcutta, a small farming community located on the Hume Highway.
Tarcutta is about half way between Melbourne and Sydney and is a major trucking rest point.
It is home to a memorial commemorating Australian truck drivers that have tragically lost their lives in road accidents.
Sadly the memorial has over 1000 names inscribed and continues to grow.

Hey good luck for tomorrow- see you at the rotunda before or Transport afterwards??
Hope you enjoy R4K and have a good run. 15.2k will be a test, but at least it looks fairly flat.
I must stop and take a look at that memorial. It's a nasty part of the highway.
Have a great day, and no pouring water over your shirt or remember the body glide ;-)
I think next year the organisers will have to strike some sort of deal with Connex. As long as you get the day off of course!
Yeah, all the best for tomorrow SD, reading about everyones prep has me wishing I was there to do it too! Enjoy!
MAR.
Was thinking about you on Sunday SD.
How'd your race go?
Hope you're having a nice holiday too.
Hope you enjoy the event.
At least despite not scoring your planned 200km per month you are still running in a great form improving and improving,
wish I could say the same :P
