My 30,000thkm will be run Saturday evening
Hi All, just a quick note. 29,985km run. Finished Friday morning with 43km run and commuted to backpackers hostel in Tennant Creek. I could have run the 15km on Friday but as the distance from where I eventually decided to finish was about a marathon to town we decided to run it next day, or rather night. We had already been thinking of taking a rest day or rest night here, so that’s why it’s Saturday. Anytime I take a rest day I get emails wondering if I am injured! I say give me a break! Talk later, thanks for messages
PS Re: Lindie Naughton’s message of support we have two questions. You say your tent was stolen in this area, Michael asked me if you were in it?
I read with interest that you were attacked by emu’s getting off a bus? So I have decided I will give buses a wide berth just in case any decide to get off when I am running by
This is just another hazard for me on the long list many fatalistic ‘ grey nomads ‘ here warn me about!
Still no kangaroo sightings but Michael did manage to video a dingo. I can no see why people say ‘ you would be lucky if you see a snake! ‘
By the way there is a poster on the hostel wall titled ” Dangerous Land Snakes Of The Northern Territory ”
12 terrifying pictures and descriptions from over two metres long, with horrifying names such as the Desert Death Snake, the Whip Snake, Tiger Snake or the much feared Taipan which was described to me in Tasmania as the ‘ pit bull terrier of snakes ” for it goes after you for no reason (sorry that I can agree with and no apology to pit bull owners!)
