I've seen the future, brother: it is murder...

On Thursday night, I was fortunate enough to go to Leonard Cohen with Uncle Dave. It's definitely up there as one of the best gigs I've been too. Difficult to comprehend how he could make the entertainment centre feel like a small intimate gig but he pulled it off. Very spiritual experience, he had the audience hanging out for every word...
On Friday got out with boys (Tom, Serg, Thurston, Durante) for a 14.8k run around Sydney in pretty hot conditions. It was Gerso's b'day on Sat so we all went up to the Hawksbury for the day so I didn't get a chance to go for a run. On Sunday we didn't get back until after 2pm. It was another scorcher and hit the hills of bondi for 1 hr 53 mins. I incorporated the 5km tempo session in the middle of the run. Pretty tired and the end of it. Very busy weekend indeed, went to see 'Rachael getting married' at the open air cinema in the domain on Sunday evening. Timmy go and see it...it's pure class. It's pretty bleak and has no fairytale ending, but that's the way it should be. I hope Hathaway gets an oscar for her performance.
Out with the boys again today (Thurston, Tom, Durante, Springer for a short period) for another 14.8k in the middle of the day, at the turnaround we (well Tom) increased the pace and Durante to the poor fella couldn't handle it.....Tom's very nervous about his debut marathon in the Gold Coast. I'm trying my best to calm him down.....it's such a long way off. He should focus on getting through the 6foot in one piece and then focus on it...but he just won't stop talking about. Methinks that's why he pushed the pace today!
