who you gunna call

Posted on February 10, 2008 by JH

You know something’s wrong when you’re in your early 30s, it’s Saturday night, and you’re sitting there, watching Ghostbusters on TV. AND, that’s the height of the evening’s entertainment.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Funnily enough, I did enjoy the movie. I’m a fan of Bill Murray, although I completely understand why he could rub you up the wrong way. You either instantly like the guy, in which case he merely needs to raise an eyebrow to make you split your sides, or you’ll never like him and you’ll probably feel like splitting HIS sides. With an axe.

Moving on: this morning dawned fresh and bright, in which respect it differed markedly from me. Dim and rancid just about summed me up this morning. Oh, and fearful.

You see, on Friday I entered the Maroondah Dam trail run. The 30km version looked like a good option. That is, until you look at the map, specifically the map with all the contour lines on it. Yikes.

So, a good long run seemed in order this morning. Well, it was long, but good is stretching things a bit. I was only allowed two hours, so my 30km route had to be scaled back a bit. In the end I did 26.5km and was only about 30 seconds late. Not too bad, but unlikely to set any records.

Here it is on mapmyrun.com.

    LOVE that film, my dad took my brother and I to see it at the Mornington Twin the summer it came out. My little brother thought slimer was so funny he damn near wet himself.

    Could have been worse, my saturday night was spent making scones to feed the trailwalker girls on Sunday, then off early to bed as I had to get up at 5am this morning.

    Yeah, I thought about Maroondah last year, TB, very nicely told me I wasn’t ready - how right he was.

    Did you see that they are now installing lights on Canterbury Road so that you can cross without having to risk life and limb trying to dodge traffic to get to the other side!!

    It’s also very. very sad when you are visiting interstate for the weekend and you are watching Ghostbusters in the hotel :lol:

    At least it was a site though so I guess I’m excused just a little bit….maybe?

    It must be Melbourne - absolutely nothing to do.
