kevin rudd is the devil

By now, I’m sure you’ve already seen the headlines - “Rudd wallows in pit of sinfulness and iniquity” or whatever it is.

Personally, I don’t care whether he spent his entire formative years snorting lines of coke off the thighs of crack-whores in opium dens in New York. Frankly, who hasn’t? Also, it would explain the hair.

What I’m concerned about is this quote I read in the Age this morning:

“This was only the second time in his life he had drunk too much — the other was at home on his 35th birthday.”

Either:

1. he has a very flexible interpretation of “drunk too much”,
2. he’s flat-out lying OR
3. he needs to get a life

This whole episode seems to confirm my theory that Rudd is a secret Liberal party plant. He was too good to be true, and now, just when it’s too late to change, he self-implodes.

It’s too convenient.

Running
A key long run yesterday - my campaign for Melbourne Marathon 2007 kinda rested on how well it went. A good run, and it’s all full-steam ahead, something tragic and the pin might have been pulled.

The pin can rest easy - it was a good, though hard one.

It was 33 k, starting at Ringwood, heading to Montrose, then up to Lilydale and back to Ringwood, via the Mullum Mullum creek. It felt okay most of the way, even the hills weren’t so bad. I sped up for the last few ks, just to put the legs under some pressure. Good preparation.

It was 33k in right on 2hours 30. A quick look on Mapmyrun gave me an average speed of 4.5m/k. I read that initially as being 4 minutes 50 seconds, which was disappointing. Stupid me, it means 4 and a half minutes, so 4:30.

Not too bad.
