Cold and dark Colac
I managed to get up at 5.45 and get out for a short run around Colac. I'm sure it's a nice town in the daytime but in the dark and cold it's a bit spooky. There was hardly a soul around as I ran up towards the lake. A few groups of cyclists flew past and then I passed a couple of the ladies of the town out for a morning walk.After about 2 km I reached the lake; well I think it was the lake as all I could see was a dark patch and a few lights reflecting off the lake surface. I'm sure you can run along the lake side for a while but the road narrowed and the street lights started to get a bit sparse and I was worried about being kidnapped by a local meat worker and never being seen again so I just did a short loop around and then headed back towards the delights of the Baronga Motor Inn. Note to self; don't let the local abbatoir book your accomodation. I carried on past the hotel so I did a nice round 6km in about 40 mins. Good news is that everything felt pretty good. Even the quad niggled for a while and then retired... must be the cold. I was very glad of my long tights and long sleeved top this morning.
A night in Geelong tonight before my early morning flight back to Sydney tomorrow; let's hope Jetstar have their act together and get me back in plenty of time for my flight to London.

Wishing you a safe flight and plenty of wonderful UK spring/summer running. :)
Better to pay attention to our sixth sense, right? You are pretty strong, I bet it was spooky!!
Hope everything goes just in time for you to get on time to the flight!! How exciting!!!
poor lulu - having to acclimatise so early on! Can't believe you're almost leaving our sunny shores (well, it is up this way at least) for another trip OS. We miss you already :(
Hehehe I mean what could go wrong the Jetstar???
Nice to see you still getting the runs in lulu - well done mate - it aint easy when you are on the road and takes real dicipline.
Have a wonderful and safe trip Lulu. Look forward to catching up with you when you get back :-)
Good news on the niggles.
Must be a tough call on whether you go to Europe, or stay in Colac at the Baronga for a training camp. Wishing you and Mr Lulu a good trip.
Don't forget to blog from Venice.
Have a fantastic trip Lulu. Wow, no meat workers for a whole month!
PLEASE do not forget to blog so us who are stuck here can travel vicariously through you ;-)
Have fun and can't wait to catch up and hear all about it!
you made me giggle with the whole kidnap-by-meatworker comment - I can so relate with my uber-early long runs round Bris lately!
Have a great trip :) xxx
Take us away from Colac. How about a blog post titled "warm and bright Venice"?
I hope that italian wine & food is good.
have a great Holiday!
You deserve it!!
Cheers R2B
