Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father. Florence + The Machine (Good Song)

Was good talking with Jirka this afternoon in the gym at MSAC, he congratulated me on yesterday's new bench press pb, 115kg, slow and steady progress.

After leaving the gym I felt like going for a run along the beach at Mordialloc, it's been a beautiful day in Melbourne, I hit shuffle on my iPod and this song came on about 5 minutes after starting, I like the lyrics 'Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father'.

I ended up jogging for about 3km's, around 20 minutes, slow and steady progress, a lot of the run was on soft sand with barefeet. When I first set my Melbourne Storm goal in May 2009, I was living in Southbank, thought I should go for a jog to see where I was at, I only got around 600m before I had to stop because of pain in my body.

Now, over 2 and a 1/2 years on, and with a total of 5 operations behind me, I'm running pain free. Have a great new year's, I like the part 6 minutes into this song.
