I gave Michael the morning off as we had commuted forward here last night, so I just dropped water bottles on the road on the way back to yesterdays finish. I am planning to give him the afternoon off also as he deserves it so much, will just run with water and snacks in my pack and hands for 30 odd km and he will pick me up later to commute back here also for tonight. Am averaging 63km now and ahead of schedule for nice easy short run into Alice Springs on 20th :) this first internet in 9 days. The Outback is much like Patagonia only more interesting. the flies are unreal, I have to wear a fly mask which is hot. The days are very hot now, but am comfortable. out running now after lunch total 28,843km for 670.5 days Gotta run mateys :) In Coober Pedy after a joyous 29km this morning.

Kirsty ran 1 50, i did 2 05 and Maggie did 2 15. We are all feeling really happy with times and we commented on the fact that we used your positive words and presence as motivation during the run. Thank you Tiffany and the Hancocks. PS Looks like you are close to Coober Pedy (dont forget to watch out for big holes in the moonscape) Hi Tony, we did the Clare half marathon today and it went really well although the body is complaining a little lol.
