Go Melbourne Victory!

Running

Today: 6 kms

This month: 11 kms

Gaby and I ran six kilometres today, from Sandringham to Black Rock. It was a very pleasant run. Weather overcast and there were plenty of people around to make the run even more interesting. Gaby has not been running since the MM, so we took things easy and had time to talk about life, friends and other banalities. Before we completed the run Arie rang (yes, one of us carried a mobile) and we ended having breakfast at one of the cafes in Sandi.

Friday, 1 Feb - 5 kms - Brighton-Elwood

At six o’clock Friday morning I was out of the door and had a very pleasant run from North Road to Glenhuntly Road and back again. For this run, I combined running in the sand and speed work. Everything worked fine and there was not soreness or pain.

Soccer

What a sweet victory for Melbourne Victory who will now host the soccer final in Telstra Dome in two weeks’ time (against the winner of Adelaide and Newcastle. The winning goal was scored in extra time; 90 seconds before the final whistle. Melbourne Victory 2 Adelaide 1.
