Post Match review

Last weekend took a different  direction with "master's" soccer involving 5 games of 40 minutes resulting in 1 draw , 2 losses  one win and one team which did not turn up. Intriguing that 2 hours or so of football over a weekend leaves you much more sore then 2 hours of running. Falling over hurts more after age 40.  However aside from bruises the legs are intact if not the pride.

After the southerly blast ( last game on Sunday was played in a howling gale at 2 degrees Celsius) , spring has returned. I went for a slow achy 4 hour run today around the  roads of Geraldine.

Four Peaks Range, Geraldine. Spot the native tree ( answer=0)

 Today's run ended in one of the only stands of Totara in Canterbury, in the Talbot Forest.

A Mighty Totara unfortunately with extensive  possum damage.

It is just over 6 week to the Molesworth run now so the longer runs will be occurring over the next 3 weeks. 

Ka kite.
