First run for 2009

Invincible (Muse)

"Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
You will be all right
Cause there's no one like you
In the universe

Don't be afraid
What your mind conceives
You should make a stand
Stand up for what you believe
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible

And during the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please let's use this chance to
Turn things around
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible

Do it on your own
Makes no difference to me
What you leave behind
What you choose to be
and whatever they say
Your soul's unbreakable

And during the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please let's use this chance to
Turn things around
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible"

This is currently one of my favourite songs on the ipod. It has great lyrics and always seems to play when I'm struggling during a long and/or hilly run.

Celebrated seeing in the new year with Strewth, Mr B and Mr CJ - it was loads of fun and the time passed really quickly. Then today, for the first run of 2009, I ran with Strewth and Mr B around Lake Ginninderra. I ran down to the lake from home (about 4kms)to meet them and then we set off around the lake. The wind was really gusty at times but when it wasn't blowing it was really pleasant. Ran home into a headwind after the lake run - resistance training! Ran a total of 16km, half of it with great company.
