I can see clearly now

7.30 am, 40 minutes, Moore Park

Another good run this morning against the odds. The legs were shaky but the dodgy foot was good. I think there's a message here. I'm just meant to run slowly. I can't believe it is taken me several running injuries and so many years to work out the obvious and inevitable.

Close to home I had this monster-sized dog bound up to me in Rushcutters Bay Park, turn its head and sniff my arm-pit. The dog galloped away again unimpressed. I felt like uncovered-meat.

glad to hear the runs are feeling good again! I have however always known that the best runs are slow ones...

Hallelujah brother you seed da light - the dog sniffing your armpit was a sure sign - it was your guardian angel checking you were not sweating too much from over exertion.

Either that or that new eau de dogette deodorant you are using really does work.

Don't you mean 'uncovered-beef'?

I think I saw that dog in Rushcutters Bay the other night, on my own similarly paced run. I was tempted to hitch a ride.

Good to see you again last week. An armpit high dog? That certainly sounds like a monster!

Nice comment on my blog, DJ. I like the strawberries bit. Who else like Raspberries other than EC?
I think GYBR is Elton's best. I bought it when it was released in 1973. I remember, because it was the first double album I purchased. I was only three. One of the last four sentences is false.
Good to see the recovery is progressing well...

In future Habib wear your galabiya on all outings to preserve your modesty.

Hey, have you gone into retirement or hospital. Have sent you an email about dinner. No un-covered meat involved

It could be mad cow disease, but I suspect it's The Running of the Bulls.

Psephology?

I like Malcolm Mackerras' Pendulum. Always good for a laugh, especially given his early calls. Like Kerry beating Bush. Or here in Oz, early-calling Lib victory in 1993.

Have you stopped running, or just writing about it?
