I flew back to Melbourne to do the Melbourne marathon. I was the 4:10 pacer. I had a pacer's meeting on Saturday. It let me get some gear for Damien. On race day I ran really well. I got a little bit tired around the 35km mark but I held the pace and finished in 4:09:52. 

After the race I met Damien who ran the marathon in just under 4hours. We had an incredible breakfast in hardware lane.

Speaking of which, if you are sick of not hearing from me and would like to see what I am eating, I have a food blog on tumblr. It is Tubbythefoodie.

After lunch we went home and took naps until dinner and then went back to sleep.

On Monday I went into work and Susanne the massage therapist worked on me for a while. It helped in the short term but I was back to my baseline post marathon soreness after a few hours.

The rest of the week was fairly quiet aside from the usual climbing, as Damien worked late and I caught up on house work. The only other excitement was that I went to a lymphoedema seminar on Wednesday and got heaps of garment samples.
