Have been in Victoria for the last few days. My time here started with cheering on my "born again fitness fanatic" older brother in his first ever 14km fun run @ Apollo Bay on Saturday (part of the Great Ocean Road marathon festival). He ran well, particularly considering that 18months ago he was overweight and had been unfit for 20+ years! I am very proud of him.
I then figured that since I was @ Apollo Bay I may as well make the Great Ocean Road 45km (ultra) marathon event my long run for the weekend (as you/I do?!). It was fanastic!! One of THE most beautiful courses I have ever run. And for a training run I ran well enough - 45kms in 3.41 - on what is very accurately described as a "meandering and undulating course, prone to high winds and drizzle" - ALL TRUE! I highly recommend it. And I will run it again one day as a race.
It will be nice to finish my Melb based work and be home again on Wed.

Well run, that's good at any time for 45 kms. It's a great scenic area, especially looking over the ocean and hope the wind doesn't blow you away. What's next for me, let you know shortly.
