Lachlan and I were invited alongside Victorian Commonwealth Games athletes to a reception at Government House on Cup Eve. We have both ran hundreds of laps around the tan, but never have we ventured beyond the famous running track into a entirely different world or drawing rooms and historical architecture.

We were addressed by both the Governer and our Premier and welcomed to the event as a successful team. It was a special moment when the number of medals were read out. A special thought to be a contributor to the tally!

After 2 full weeks off nursing sore spots we have started our campaign to return to running. This week if all goes well we can do a long run of 45minutes. What a luxury! After a good break we are ready to start the preparation for the next big goal…qualifying for the Olympic Games.
